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.bindBufferRange() method of the WebGL 2 API binds a range of a given WebGLBuffer to a given binding point (target) at a given index.
Syntax
void gl.bindBufferBase(target, index, buffer, offset, size);
Parameters
target- A
Glenumspecifying the target for the bind operation. Possible values:gl.TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFERgl.UNIFORM_BUFFER
index- A
GLuintspecifying the index of thetarget. buffer- A
WebGLBufferwhich to bind to the binding point (target). - offset
- A
GLintptrspecifying the starting offset. - size
- A
GLsizeiptrspecifying the amount of data that can be read from the buffer.
Return value
None.
Examples
gl.bindBufferRange(gl.TRANSFORM_FEEDBACK_BUFFER, 1, buffer, 0, 4);

[1] WebGL 2 is enabled by default in Firefox Nightly. To enable it in a release version of Firefox, set the preference webgl.enable-prototype-webgl2 to true in about:config.
[2] To use an experimental implementation of WebGL 2 in Chrome, you have to start Chrome with the runtime flag --enable-unsafe-es3-apis.
