The OES_vertex_array_object.createVertexArrayOES() method of the WebGL API creates and initializes a WebGLVertexArrayObjectOES object that represents a vertex array object (VAO) pointing to vertex array data and which provides names for different sets of vertex data.

Syntax

WebGLVertexArrayObjectOES ext.createVertexArrayOES();

Parameters

None.

Return value

A WebGLVertexArrayObjectOES representing a vertex array object (VAO) which points to vertex array data.
