Slove WebGl problems - webgl

I'm start learning WebGL and find some tutorials in Internet how to create first project. The tutorial is so easy for me to compile because i draw code to compile .
Have this errors on compile project in Edge:
WEBGL11163: getAttribLocation: Program not linked.
index.html (61,1)
WEBGL11163: enableVertexAttribArray: Index exceeds MAX_VERTEX_ATTRIBS.
index.html (62,1)
WEBGL11059: INVALID_VALUE: vertexAttribPointer: vertex attribute size must be 1, 2, 3 or 4
index.html (63.1)
WEBGL11042: INVALID_OPERATION: useProgram: program is not connected
index.html (65.1)
WEBGL11163: drawArrays: A program must be bound.
index.html (66,1)
From this code:
const canvas = document.getElementById('object');
const gl = canvas.getContext('webgl');
if (!gl) {
throw new Error('WebGL not supported');
}
const vertexData = [
0, 1, 0,
1, -1, 0,
-1, -1, 0
];
const buffer = gl.createBuffer();
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, buffer);
gl.bufferData(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, new Float32Array(vertexData), gl.STATIC_DRAW);
const vertexShader = gl.createShader(gl.VERTEX_SHADER);
gl.shaderSource(vertexShader, `
attribute vec3 position;
void main() {
gl_Position = vec4(position, 1);
}
`);
gl.compileShader(vertexShader);
const fragmentShader = gl.createShader(gl.FRAGMENT_SHADER);
gl.shaderSource(fragmentShader, `
void main() {
gl.fragColor = vec4(1, 0, 0, 1);
}
`);
gl.compileShader(fragmentShader);
const program = gl.createProgram();
gl.attachShader(program, vertexShader);
gl.attachShader(program, fragmentShader);
gl.linkProgram(program);
const positionLocation = gl.getAttribLocation(program, `position`);
gl.enableVertexAttribArray(positionLocation);
gl.vertexAttribPointer(positionLocation, 3, gl.FLOAT, true, 0, 0);
gl.useProgram(program);
gl.drawArrays(gl.TRIANGLES, 0, 3);
What you can say about this subject because in tutorial it's working correctly.

First off let me recommend some different tutorials
Second off, your shaders are bad or rather your fragment shader is bad.
When compiling and linking shader programs you should check for errors by calling gl.getShaderParameter(someShader, gl.COMPILE_STATUS) and gl.getProgramParameter(someProgram, gl.LINK_STATUS). If either return false then your shaders had an error. You can get the compile error with gl.getShaderInfoLog(someShader) and the link error with gl.getProgramInfoLog(someProgram). The fact that these are not in your example suggest the tutorial you're using has so some issues.
As for your shaders you typed gl.fragColor instead of gl_FragColor
const canvas = document.getElementById('object');
const gl = canvas.getContext('webgl');
if (!gl) {
throw new Error('WebGL not supported');
}
const vertexData = [
0, 1, 0,
1, -1, 0,
-1, -1, 0
];
const buffer = gl.createBuffer();
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, buffer);
gl.bufferData(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, new Float32Array(vertexData), gl.STATIC_DRAW);
function createShader(gl, type, src) {
const shader = gl.createShader(type);
gl.shaderSource(shader, src);
gl.compileShader(shader);
if (!gl.getShaderParameter(shader, gl.COMPILE_STATUS)) {
console.error(gl.getShaderInfoLog(shader));
throw new Error('could not compile shader');
}
return shader;
}
const vertexShader = createShader(gl, gl.VERTEX_SHADER, `
attribute vec3 position;
void main() {
gl_Position = vec4(position, 1);
}
`);
const fragmentShader = createShader(gl, gl.FRAGMENT_SHADER, `
void main() {
gl_FragColor = vec4(1, 0, 0, 1);
}
`);
const program = gl.createProgram();
gl.attachShader(program, vertexShader);
gl.attachShader(program, fragmentShader);
gl.linkProgram(program);
if (!gl.getProgramParameter(program, gl.LINK_STATUS)) {
console.log(gl.getProgramInfoLog(program));
throw new Error('could not link shaders');
}
const positionLocation = gl.getAttribLocation(program, `position`);
gl.enableVertexAttribArray(positionLocation);
gl.vertexAttribPointer(positionLocation, 3, gl.FLOAT, true, 0, 0);
gl.useProgram(program);
gl.drawArrays(gl.TRIANGLES, 0, 3);

WebGL mix instanced sprite rendering

I want to render some instanced sprites using drawArraysInstancedANGLE. The problem is that when i set vertexAttribDivisorANGLE for the buffer to be instanced, it clears the whole screen, erasing anything i drawn earlier. I based this example on https://stackoverflow.com/a/56066386/1227852
Example with the vertexAttribDivisorANGLE issue (only draws the instanced boxes):
const m4 = twgl.m4;
const gl = document.querySelector('canvas').getContext('webgl');
const ext = gl.getExtension('ANGLE_instanced_arrays');
if (!ext) {
alert('need ANGLE_instanced_arrays');
}

Now when i disable the ext.vertexAttribDivisorANGLE(positionLoc, 1); call, the background renders like expected and the boxes are drawn over the background, but obviously the mesh is incorrect since the instancing / divisor is not set correctly:

How can i render the instanced boxes correctly over the background without the background being erased?
edit: removed some unnecessary commented lines

You need to turn the divisor off by setting it to 0 before drawing the background. Otherwise, it is used for the background as well, and the background is drawn incorrectly.

WebGL line drawing issue

I am trying to draw simple shapes using WebGL LINES mode. These are my vertices:
<canvas width="200" height="200".../>
...
vertices.push(
0.01,0.13, 0.03,0.15,
0.03,0.15, 0.09,0.15,
0.09,0.15, 0.11,0.13,
0.11,0.13, 0.11,0.03,
0.11,0.03, 0.09,0.01,
0.09,0.01, 0.03,0.01,
0.03,0.01, 0.01,0.03,
0.01,0.03, 0.01,0.13);
The picture shows the result which is far from my expectations:
screen
I tried different things without success. How to fix it?
Here is a working example (DPI should be 1):
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var gl = canvas.getContext("webgl2", { antialias: false });
var dpi = window.devicePixelRatio || 1;
gl.viewport(0, 0, gl.canvas.width, gl.canvas.height);

var vertexShaderSource = `#version 300 es
in vec2 a_position;
void main() {
gl_Position = vec4(a_position, 0, 1);
}
`;
var vertexShader = gl.createShader(gl.VERTEX_SHADER);
gl.shaderSource(vertexShader, vertexShaderSource);
gl.compileShader(vertexShader);
//fragment shader
var fragmentShaderSource = `#version 300 es

I found that when anti-aliasing is turned on, the shape is more acurrate but blurry.
I found out that do draw the shape as expected the coordinates should be half pixel:
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var gl = canvas.getContext("webgl2", { antialias: false });
gl.viewport(0, 0, gl.canvas.width, gl.canvas.height);
gl.clearColor(0, 0, 0, 0);

var vertexShader = gl.createShader(gl.VERTEX_SHADER);
gl.shaderSource(vertexShader, vertexShaderSource);
gl.compileShader(vertexShader);
//fragment shader

Can an layout(location=n) out skip an index for drawBuffers in WebGL?

I'm working on MRT in my graphics engine.
An interesting point i'm at (and aim to fix) has my generated fragment shader spitting out:
layout(location = 0) out vec4 thing1;
layout(location = 2) out vec4 thing2;
The drawBuffers call on the application side calls something like this:
gl.drawBuffers([gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, gl.NONE, gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT1]);
However, I'm getting an error:
WebGL: INVALID_OPERATION: drawBuffers: COLOR_ATTACHMENTi_EXT or NONE
So obviously, this would appear to not be allowed. From the documentation I've read from a wikipedia article discussing it:
https://www.khronos.org/opengl/wiki/Fragment_Shader
It states along the lines that the layout location specified refers to the array index specified from the drawBuffers call. So, in theory I would have thought this shader to configuration would be valid.
What am I missing from my understanding that makes this not work?
I ask for understanding mostly and not to fix my program, my generator will correct the indices when I'm done to be 'correct' with no location index skipping.
Update: As noted below, you CAN skip layout locations in the shader. My issue was the improper formatting of the drawBuffers call where I had COLOR_ATTACHMENT1 in the index where ONLY COLOR_ATTACHMENT2 is valid.
This is wrong
gl.drawBuffers([gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, gl.NONE, gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT1]);
the i-th attachment must be gl.NONE or gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENTi
so it has to be this
gl.drawBuffers([gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, gl.NONE, gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT2]);
function main() {
const gl = document.querySelector('canvas').getContext('webgl2');

Regl color and alpha blending of primitives

I am trying to figure out how to achieve color and alpha blending between primitives using Regl.
I know Regl command's have a blend property and I've tried replicating the following webgl settings that do the trick:
gl.enable(gl.BLEND);
gl.blendFunc(gl.SRC_ALPHA, gl.ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
using the following blend settings in Regl:
blend: {
enable: true,
func: { src: 'src alpha', dst:'one minus src alpha' }
},
But the blending only seem to work in regard to the background color but not between the points. (See the example below.)

const canvas1 = document.querySelector('#c1');
const canvas2 = document.querySelector('#c2');

Am I doing something wrong? How could I achieve the same kind of blending that the pure webgl code produces? Thanks!
Thanks to this great answer I figured it out:
In a nutshell, the blend function needs to be adjusted and the depth test needs to be disabled. (But I still don't know why the blend function, that worked in the vanilla WebGL example, didn't work in Regl)
Use the following blend mode
blend: {
enable: true,
func: {
srcRGB: 'src alpha',
srcAlpha: 'src alpha',
dstRGB: 'one minus src alpha',
dstAlpha: 'one minus src alpha',
},
},
Disable depth test
depth: { enable: false },
Here's the fixed example from my question: http://jsfiddle.net/8gyf7pek/22/

How to properly check webgl output

You can find the original question below about LUMINANCE_ALPHA but I realized I was wrong about my problem.
The real question should have been :
How can we efficiently check the output value done on a canvas drawn using webgl ?
Is using the webgl canvas as an image to draw it in a 2D canvas and get the values using getImageData() a good idea ?
const webglCanvas = ...;
const offCanvas = document.createElement('canvas');
offCanvas.style.background = 'black';
offCanvas.width = canvas.width;
offCanvas.height = canvas.height;
const context = offCanvas.getContext('2d');
context.drawImage(webglCanvas, 0, 0);
console.log( context.getImageData(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height).data );
Original Question :
I don't understand how gl.LUMINANCE_ALPHA works, from my understand it's supposed to get bytes 2 by 2 and assign the first value to rgb and the second value to alpha.
However when I do that with webgl :
gl.texImage2D(gl.TEXTURE_2D, 0, gl.LUMINANCE_ALPHA, 1, 1, 0, gl.LUMINANCE_ALPHA, gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE, new Uint8Array([1, 30]));
I'm getting a color of (8, 8, 8, 30) while I'm expecting (1, 1, 1, 30).
I got that definition from those specs :
Each element is an luminance/alpha double. The GL converts each component to floating point, clamps to the range [0,1], and assembles them into an RGBA element by placing the luminance value in the red, green and blue channels.
Not sure how this apply to webgl since there is no double. Maybe I'm missing what converts each component to floating point means or missing some pack/unpack configuration.
Here's a snippet replicating the issue:
const vertShaderStr = `
attribute vec2 a_position;
void main() {
gl_Position = vec4(a_position, 0, 1);
}
`;
const fragShaderStr = `
precision mediump float;

void main() {
gl_FragColor = texture2D(u_texture, vec2(0, 0));
}
`

canvas.width = 1;
canvas.height = 1;
const gl = canvas.getContext('webgl');
const program = gl.createProgram();
const vertexShader = gl.createShader(gl.VERTEX_SHADER);
gl.shaderSource(vertexShader, vertShaderStr);
gl.compileShader(vertexShader);

gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, positionBuffer);
gl.vertexAttribPointer(positionLocation, 2, gl.FLOAT, false, 0, 0);
const texture = gl.createTexture();
gl.bindTexture(gl.TEXTURE_2D, texture);

context.drawImage(canvas, 0, 0);
console.log( context.getImageData(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height).data );
<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
update
Just found out that the alpha value (30) will affect the resulting rgb. But I can't find out what's doing exactly, if it's using alpha to compute rgb or if it's reading the wrong bytes from the buffer.
When drawing a webgl canvas to another 2d canvas conversion, filtering and blending operations are being applied which may lead to a skewed result. While you can disable blending by setting the globalCompositeOperation on the 2d context to copy you're still running through a conversion and filtering process which is not standardized and is not guaranteed to provide a precise result.
Using readPixels returns correct results and is the only way to get guaranteed accurate readings from the current color framebuffer. If you need that data to be available to a 2D context you may use ImageData in conjunction with putImageData.
