Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The WebGL2RenderingContext.renderbufferStorageMultisample() method of the WebGL 2 API returns creates and initializes a renderbuffer object's data store and allows specifying a number of samples to be used.

Syntax

gl.RENDERBUFFER: Buffer data storage for single images in a renderable internal format.

samples
