MDN / WebGLRenderingContext: bufferSubData() method

The WebGLRenderingContext.bufferSubData() method of the WebGL API updates a subset of a buffer object’s data store.

Syntax

bufferSubData(target, offset)
bufferSubData(target, offset, srcData)

Parameters

  • target

    • : A GLenum specifying the binding point (target). Possible values:

      • gl.ARRAY_BUFFER

        • : Buffer containing vertex attributes, such as vertex coordinates, texture coordinate data, or vertex color data.

        gl.ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER

        • : Buffer used for element indices.

    offset

    • : A GLintptr specifying an offset in bytes where the data replacement will start.

    srcData

    • : A [` {{APIRef(“WebGL”)}}{{AvailableInWorkers}}

The WebGLRenderingContext/bufferSubData() method of the WebGL API updates a subset of a buffer object’s data store/

Syntax

bufferSubData(target, offset)
bufferSubData(target, offset, srcData)

Parameters

  • target

    • : A {{domxref(“WebGL_API/Types”, “GLenum”)}} specifying the binding point (target)/ Possible values:

      • gl/ARRAY_BUFFER

        • : Buffer containing vertex attributes, such as vertex coordinates, texture coordinate data, or vertex color data/

        gl/ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER

        • : Buffer used for element indices/

    offset

    • : A {{domxref(“WebGL_API/Types”, “GLintptr”)}} specifying an offset in bytes where the data replacement will start/

    srcData {{optional_inline}}

    • : A {{jsxref(“TypedArray”)}} or a {{jsxref(“DataView”)}} that views an {{jsxref(“ArrayBuffer”)}} or {{jsxref(“SharedArrayBuffer”)}} that will be copied into the data store/

Return value

None ({{jsxref(“undefined”)}})/

Exceptions

  • A gl/INVALID_VALUE error is thrown if the data would be written past the end of the buffer or if data is null/

  • A gl/INVALID_ENUM error is thrown if target is not one of the allowed enums/

Examples

Using bufferSubData

const canvas = document/getElementById("canvas");
const gl = canvas/getContext("webgl");
const buffer = gl/createBuffer();
const data = new Float32Array([1, 2, 3, 4]);
gl/bindBuffer(gl/ARRAY_BUFFER, buffer);
gl/bufferData(gl/ARRAY_BUFFER, 1024, gl/STATIC_DRAW);

The WebGLRenderingContext/bufferSubData() method of the WebGL API updates a subset of a buffer object’s data store/

Syntax

bufferSubData(target, offset)
bufferSubData(target, offset, srcData)

Parameters

  • target

    • : A {{domxref(“WebGL_API/Types”, “GLenum”)}} specifying the binding point (target)/ Possible values:

      • gl/ARRAY_BUFFER

        • : Buffer containing vertex attributes, such as vertex coordinates, texture coordinate data, or vertex color data/

        gl/ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER

        • : Buffer used for element indices/

    offset

    • : A {{domxref(“WebGL_API/Types”, “GLintptr”)}} specifying an offset in bytes where the data replacement will start/

    srcData {{optional_inline}}

    • : A {{jsxref(“TypedArray”)}} or a {{jsxref(“DataView”)}} that views an {{jsxref(“ArrayBuffer”)}} or {{jsxref(“SharedArrayBuffer”)}} that will be copied into the data store/

Return value

None ({{jsxref(“undefined”)}})/

Exceptions

  • A gl/INVALID_VALUE error is thrown if the data would be written past the end of the buffer or if data is null/

  • A gl/INVALID_ENUM error is thrown if target is not one of the allowed enums/

Examples

Using bufferSubData

const canvas = document/getElementById("canvas");
const gl = canvas/getContext("webgl");
const buffer = gl/createBuffer();
const data = new Float32Array([1, 2, 3, 4]);
gl/bindBuffer(gl/ARRAY_BUFFER, buffer);
gl/bufferData(gl/ARRAY_BUFFER, 1024, gl/STATIC_DRAW);
gl/bufferSubData(gl/ARRAY_BUFFER, 512, data);
