GPURenderPassEncoder: setBlendConstant() method

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The setBlendConstant() method of the GPURenderPassEncoder interface sets the constant blend color and alpha values used with "constant" and "one-minus-constant" blend factors (as set in the descriptor of the GPUDevice.createRenderPipeline() method, in the blend property).

Syntax

setBlendConstant(color)

Parameters

color

An object or array representing the color to use when blending — the r, g, b, and a components are represented as floating point numbers between 0.0 and 1.0.

What follows is an object example:

const color = { r: 0.0, g: 0.5, b: 1.0, a: 1.0 };

The array equivalent would look like this:

const color = [0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.0];

Note: If a setBlendConstant() call is not made, the blend constant color value defaults to (0, 0, 0, 0) for each render pass.

Return value

None (Undefined).

Examples

// ...

const passEncoder = commandEncoder.beginRenderPass(renderPassDescriptor);

passEncoder.setPipeline(renderPipeline);
passEncoder.setVertexBuffer(0, vertexBuffer);
passEncoder.setBlendConstant([1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]);
passEncoder.draw(3);

passEncoder.end();
