WebGL2RenderingContext.clearBuffer[fiuv]()

The WebGL2RenderingContext.clearBuffer[fiuv]() methods of the WebGL 2 API clear buffers from the currently bound framebuffer.

Syntax

void gl.clearBufferfv(buffer, drawbuffer, values, optional srcOffset);
void gl.clearBufferiv(buffer, drawbuffer, values, optional srcOffset);
void gl.clearBufferuiv(buffer, drawbuffer, values, optional srcOffset);
void gl.clearBufferfi(buffer, drawbuffer, depth, stencil);

Parameters

buffer

A GLenum specifying the buffer to clear. Possible values are:

• gl.COLOR: Color buffer.
• gl.DEPTH: Depth buffer.
• gl.STENCIL: Stencil buffer.
• gl.DEPTH_STENCIL: clears depth and stencil buffers (used with clearBufferfi).

drawBuffer

A GLint specifying the draw buffer to clear.

values

An Array of GLint, GLuint or GLfloat values or an Int32Array, Uint32Array or Float32Array specifying the values to clear to.

depth

A GLfloat specifying the value to clear a depth render buffer to.

stencil

A GLint specifying the value to clear the stencil render buffer to.

Return value

None.

Examples

gl.clearBufferiv(gl.COLOR, 0, new Int32Array([r, g, b, a]));
gl.clearBufferuiv(gl.COLOR, 0, new Uint32Array([r, g, b, a]));
gl.clearBufferfv(gl.COLOR, 0, new Float32Array([r, g, b, a]));
gl.clearBufferfv(gl.COLOR, 0, [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]);
gl.clearBufferfi(gl.DEPTH_STENCIL, 0, 1.0, 0);
