EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic
The EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic
extension is part of the WebGL API and exposes two constants for anisotropic filtering (AF).
AF improves the quality of mipmapped texture access when viewing a textured primitive at an oblique angle. Using just mipmapping, these lookups have a tendency to average to grey.
WebGL extensions are available using the WebGLRenderingContext.getExtension()
method. For more information, see also Using Extensions in the WebGL tutorial.
Constants
ext.MAX_TEXTURE_MAX_ANISOTROPY_EXT
-
This is the
pname
argument to thegl.getParameter()
call, and it returns the maximum available anisotropy. ext.TEXTURE_MAX_ANISOTROPY_EXT
-
This is the
pname
argument to thegl.getTexParameter()
andgl.texParameterf()
/gl.texParameteri()
calls and sets the desired maximum anisotropy for a texture.
Examples
var texture = gl.createTexture();
gl.bindTexture(gl.TEXTURE_2D, texture);
var ext = (
gl.getExtension('EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic') ||
gl.getExtension('MOZ_EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic') ||
gl.getExtension('WEBKIT_EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic')
);
if (ext){
var max = gl.getParameter(ext.MAX_TEXTURE_MAX_ANISOTROPY_EXT);
gl.texParameterf(gl.TEXTURE_2D, ext.TEXTURE_MAX_ANISOTROPY_EXT, max);
}
