This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.
The WebGL2RenderingContext.beginTransformFeedback() method of the WebGL 2 API starts a transform feedback operation.
Syntax
void gl.beginTransformFeedback(primitiveMode);
Parameters
primitiveMode- A
GLenumspecifying the output type of the primitives that will be recorded into the buffer objects that are bound for transform feedback. Possible values:gl.POINTSgl.LINESgl.TRIANGLES
Return value
None.
Examples
var transformFeedback = gl.createTransformFeedback(); gl.bindTransformFeedback(gl.TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK, transformFeedback); gl.beginTransformFeedback(gl.TRIANGLES); gl.drawArrays(gl.TRIANGLES, 0, 3);
