ts-igloo v1.1.0

ts-igloo

A TypeScript Port of igloo.js with better webGL2 support

About Igloo

Igloo is a minimal, fluent, object-oriented wrapper API for WebGL. WebGL requires lots of boilerplate to use directly and the existing abstraction wrappers are too high-level.

Igloo is not intended to completely replace use of the WebGLRenderingContext object, nor is it intended to hide details from beginners. The WebGLRenderingContext object still needed for all the enumerations, occasionally you may need to do something that Igloo doesn't cover, and you still need to understand the intricacies of the OpenGL API.

Install

npm install ts-igloo

Example Usage

function Demo() {
    var igloo    = this.igloo = new Igloo($('#my-canvas')[0]);
    this.quad    = igloo.array(Igloo.QUAD2);        // create array buffer
    this.image   = igloo.texture($('#image')[0]);   // create texture
    this.program = igloo.program('src/project.vert', 'src/tint.frag');
}

Demo.prototype.draw = function() {
    this.image.bind(0);  // active texture 0
    this.program.use()
        .uniform('tint', [1, 0, 0])
        .uniform('scale', 1.2)
        .uniformi('image', 0)
        .attrib('points', this.quad, 2)
        .draw(this.igloo.gl.TRIANGLE_STRIP, Igloo.QUAD2.length / 2);
}

This example (shader code not shown) would display a scaled, tinted image on the screen. No other WebGL calls are required to make this work.
