Content bug: vertexAttribPointer: missing WebGL 2 types
What page(s) did you find the problem on?
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebGLRenderingContext/vertexAttribPointer
Specific page section or heading?
Syntax > Parameters > type
What is the problem?
Only the HALF_FLOAT type is noted to be added by WebGL 2
When using a WebGL 2 context, the following values are available additionally:
gl.HALF_FLOAT: 16-bit IEEE floating point number
However if you compare the ES 3.0 docs to the ES 2.0 ones, there are actually several more that were added:
-
gl.INT -
gl.UNSIGNED_INT -
gl.INT_2_10_10_10_REV -
gl.UNSIGNED_INT_2_10_10_10_REV
ES 2.0 : https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL-Refpages/es2.0/xhtml/glVertexAttribPointer.xml
ES 3.0 : https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL-Refpages/es3.0/html/glVertexAttribPointer.xhtml
What did you expect to see?
AFAIK, the types allowed in WebGL 2 should reflect the ES 3.0 docs (except FIXED).
Did you test this? If so, how?
I tested on Firefox 91/Linux. All of the types listed above did work. Here is a quick test with gl.INT_2_10_10_10_REV (you should see a rotating square).
