WebGLRenderingContext: getTexParameter() method

The WebGLRenderingContext.getTexParameter() method of the WebGL API returns information about the given texture.

Syntax

getTexParameter(target, pname)

Parameters

target

A GLenum specifying the binding point (target). Possible values:

• gl.TEXTURE_2D: A two-dimensional texture.
• gl.TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP: A cube-mapped texture.

When using a WebGL 2 context, the following values are available additionally:

• gl.TEXTURE_3D: A three-dimensional texture.
• gl.TEXTURE_2D_ARRAY: A two-dimensional array texture.

pname

A GLenum specifying the information to query. Possible values:

pname	Return type	Description	Possible return values
Available in a WebGL 1 context
gl.TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER	GLenum	Texture magnification filter	gl.LINEAR (default value), gl.NEAREST.
gl.TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER	GLenum	Texture minification filter	gl.LINEAR, gl.NEAREST, gl.NEAREST_MIPMAP_NEAREST, gl.LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST, gl.NEAREST_MIPMAP_LINEAR (default value), gl.LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR.
gl.TEXTURE_WRAP_S	GLenum	Wrapping function for texture coordinate s	gl.REPEAT (default value), gl.CLAMP_TO_EDGE, gl.MIRRORED_REPEAT.
gl.TEXTURE_WRAP_T	GLenum	Wrapping function for texture coordinate t	gl.REPEAT (default value), gl.CLAMP_TO_EDGE, gl.MIRRORED_REPEAT.
Additionally available when using the EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic extension
ext.TEXTURE_MAX_ANISOTROPY_EXT	GLfloat	Maximum anisotropy for a texture	Any float values.
Additionally available when using a WebGL 2 context
gl.TEXTURE_BASE_LEVEL	GLint	Texture mipmap level	Any int values.
gl.TEXTURE_COMPARE_FUNC	GLenum	Comparison function	gl.LEQUAL (default value), gl.GEQUAL, gl.LESS, gl.GREATER, gl.EQUAL, gl.NOTEQUAL, gl.ALWAYS, gl.NEVER.
gl.TEXTURE_COMPARE_MODE	GLenum	Texture comparison mode	gl.NONE (default value), gl.COMPARE_REF_TO_TEXTURE.
gl.TEXTURE_IMMUTABLE_FORMAT	GLboolean	Immutability of the texture format and size	true or false.
gl.TEXTURE_IMMUTABLE_LEVELS	GLuint	?	Any uint values.
gl.TEXTURE_MAX_LEVEL	GLint	Maximum texture mipmap array level	Any int values.
gl.TEXTURE_MAX_LOD	GLfloat	Texture maximum level-of-detail value	Any float values.
gl.TEXTURE_MIN_LOD	GLfloat	Texture minimum level-of-detail value	Any float values.
gl.TEXTURE_WRAP_R	GLenum	Wrapping function for texture coordinate r	gl.REPEAT (default value), gl.CLAMP_TO_EDGE, gl.MIRRORED_REPEAT.

Return value

Returns the requested texture information (as specified with pname). If an error occurs, null is returned.

Examples

gl.getTexParameter(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER);
