WebGLRenderer is a class that contains the needed functionality to keep the WebGLRenderingContext state clean. The main idea of the WebGLRenderer is to keep track of any context change that happens for WebGL rendering inside of Phaser. This means if raw webgl functions are called outside the WebGLRenderer of the Phaser WebGL rendering ecosystem they might pollute the current WebGLRenderingContext state producing unexpected behavior. It's recommended that WebGL interaction is done through WebGLRenderer and/or WebGLPipeline.

snapshot(callback, [type], [encoderOptions])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Schedules a snapshot of the entire game viewport to be taken after the current frame is rendered.

To capture a specific area see the snapshotArea method. To capture a specific pixel, see snapshotPixel.

Only one snapshot can be active per frame. If you have already called snapshotPixel, for example, then calling this method will override it.

Snapshots work by using the WebGL readPixels feature to grab every pixel from the frame buffer into an ArrayBufferView. It then parses this, copying the contents to a temporary Canvas and finally creating an Image object from it, which is the image returned to the callback provided. All in all, this is a computationally expensive and blocking process, which gets more expensive the larger the canvas size gets, so please be careful how you employ this in your game.

Parameters:

name type arguments Default description
callback Phaser.Types.Renderer.Snapshot.SnapshotCallback

The Function to invoke after the snapshot image is created.

type string <optional> 'image/png'

The format of the image to create, usually image/png or image/jpeg.

encoderOptions number <optional> 0.92

The image quality, between 0 and 1. Used for image formats with lossy compression, such as image/jpeg.

Focus
Focus

Description:

Takes a snapshot of the given area of the given frame buffer.

Unlike the other snapshot methods, this one is processed immediately and doesn't wait for the next render.

Snapshots work by using the WebGL readPixels feature to grab every pixel from the frame buffer into an ArrayBufferView. It then parses this, copying the contents to a temporary Canvas and finally creating an Image object from it, which is the image returned to the callback provided.

Parameters:

name type arguments Default description
framebuffer WebGLFramebuffer

The framebuffer to grab from.

bufferWidth number

The width of the framebuffer.

bufferHeight number

The height of the framebuffer.

callback Phaser.Types.Renderer.Snapshot.SnapshotCallback

The Function to invoke after the snapshot image is created.

getPixel boolean <optional> false

Grab a single pixel as a Color object, or an area as an Image object?

x number <optional> 0

y number <optional> 0

The y coordinate to grab from.

width number <optional> bufferWidth

The width of the area to grab.

snapshotPixel(x, y, callback)
Focus
Focus

Description:

Schedules a snapshot of the given pixel from the game viewport to be taken after the current frame is rendered.

To capture the whole game viewport see the snapshot method. To capture a specific area, see snapshotArea.

Only one snapshot can be active per frame. If you have already called snapshotArea, for example, then calling this method will override it.

Unlike the other two snapshot methods, this one will return a Color object containing the color data for the requested pixel. It doesn't need to create an internal Canvas or Image object, so is a lot faster to execute, using less memory.

Parameters:

name type description
x number

The x coordinate of the pixel to get.

y number

The y coordinate of the pixel to get.

callback Phaser.Types.Renderer.Snapshot.SnapshotCallback
