Constructor
new StarFieldProgram(gl)
Constructs a new program.
Initializes, compiles and links this GLSL program with the source code for its vertex and fragment shaders.
This method creates WebGL shaders for the program's shader sources and attaches them to a new GLSL program. This method then compiles the shaders and then links the program if compilation is successful. Use the bind method to make the program current during rendering.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
gl |
WebGLRenderingContext | The current WebGL context. |
- Source:
Throws:
-
If the shaders cannot be compiled, or linking of the compiled shaders into a program fails.
- Type
- ArgumentError
