VertexArrayObject (EXT)

A vertex array object is a WebGL object that stores all of the state needed to supply vertex data. While VertexArrayObjects are not available in basic WebGL1 environments, they are available by default in WebGL2 and via a commonly supported extension under WebGL1.

For more information, see OpenGL Wiki.

Usage

Creating a VertexArrayObject

import {VertexArrayObject} from 'luma.gl';
if (VertexArrayObject.isSupported(gl)) {
  return new VertexArrayObject(gl)
}

Adding attributes to a VertexArrayObject

const vertexArrayObject = new VertexArrayObject(gl);
vertexArrayObject.bind();
vertexArrayObject.unbind();

Deleting a VertexArrayObject

vertexArrayObject.delete();
