    WebGL2RenderingContext.drawRangeElements()

    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.drawRangeElements() method of the WebGL API renders primitives from array data in a given range.

    Syntax

    void gl.drawRangeElements(mode, start, end, count, type, offset);

    Parameters

    mode
    A GLenum specifying the type primitive to render. Possible values are:
    • gl.POINTS: Draws a single dot.
    • gl.LINE_STRIP: Draws a straight line to the next vertex.
    • gl.LINE_LOOP: Draws a straight line to the next vertex, and connects the last vertex back to the first.
    • gl.LINES: Draws a line between a pair of vertices.
    • gl.TRIANGLE_STRIP
    • gl.TRIANGLE_FAN
    • gl.TRIANGLES: Draws a triangle for a group of three vertices.
    start
    A GLuint specifying the minimum array index contained in offset.
    end
    A GLuint specifying the maximum array index contained in offset.
    count
    A GLsizei specifying the number of elements to be rendered.
    type
    A GLenum specifying the type of the values in the element array buffer. Possible values are:
    • gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE
    • gl.UNSIGNED_SHORT
    • gl.UNSIGNED_INT
    offset
    A GLintptr specifying an offset in the element array buffer. Must be a valid multiple of the size of the given type.

    Return value

    None.

    Exceptions

    • If mode is not one of the accepted values, a gl.INVALID_ENUM error is thrown.
    • If offset is a valid multiple of the size of the given type, a gl.INVALID_OPERATION error is thrown.
    • If count is negative, a gl.INVALID_VALUE error is thrown.

    Examples

    gl.drawRangeElements(gl.POINTS, 0, 7, 8, gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE, 0);
