getContextAttributes()
None.
A WebGLContextAttributes object that contains the actual context parameters, or null if the context is lost.
Given this <canvas> element
html
<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
and given this WebGL context
js
const canvas = document.getElementById("canvas"); const gl = canvas.getContext("webgl"); gl.getContextAttributes();
the getContextAttributes method returns an object that describes the attributes set on this context, for example:
js
{ alpha: true, antialias: true, depth: true, failIfMajorPerformanceCaveat: false, powerPreference: "default", premultipliedAlpha: true, preserveDrawingBuffer: false, stencil: false, desynchronized: false }
The context attributes can be set when creating the context using the HTMLCanvasElement.getContext() method:
js
canvas.getContext("webgl", { antialias: false, depth: false });
See getContext() for more information about the individual attributes.
