Chapter 222: DataArrayTexture

Core Idea

Creates an array of textures directly from raw buffer data.

flipY : boolean: If set to true, the texture is flipped along the vertical axis when uploaded to the GPU.
generateMipmaps : boolean: Whether to generate mipmaps (if possible) for a texture.
image : Object: The image definition of a data texture.
isDataArrayTexture : boolean (readonly): This flag can be used for type testing.
layerUpdates : Set.<number>: A set of all layers which need to be updated in the texture.
magFilter : NearestFilter | NearestMipmapNearestFilter | NearestMipmapLinearFilter | LinearFilter | LinearMipmapNearestFilter | LinearMipmapLinearFilter: How the texture is sampled when a texel covers more than one pixel.
minFilter : NearestFilter | NearestMipmapNearestFilter | NearestMipmapLinearFilter | LinearFilter | LinearMipmapNearestFilter | LinearMipmapLinearFilter: How the texture is sampled when a texel covers less than one pixel.
unpackAlignment : boolean: Specifies the alignment requirements for the start of each pixel row in memory.
wrapR : RepeatWrapping | ClampToEdgeWrapping | MirroredRepeatWrapping: This defines how the texture is wrapped in the depth and corresponds to W in UVW mapping.

Constructor

Signature
`new DataArrayTexture( data : TypedArray, width : number, height : number, depth : number )`

Properties

Property	Description
`.flipY : boolean`	If set to `true`, the texture is flipped along the vertical axis when uploaded to the GPU.
`.generateMipmaps : boolean`	Whether to generate mipmaps (if possible) for a texture.
`.image : Object`	The image definition of a data texture.
`.isDataArrayTexture : boolean (readonly)`	This flag can be used for type testing.
`.layerUpdates : Set.<number>`	A set of all layers which need to be updated in the texture.
`.magFilter : NearestFilter	NearestMipmapNearestFilter
`.minFilter : NearestFilter	NearestMipmapNearestFilter
`.unpackAlignment : boolean`	Specifies the alignment requirements for the start of each pixel row in memory.
`.wrapR : RepeatWrapping	ClampToEdgeWrapping

Methods

Method	Description
`.addLayerUpdate( layerIndex : number )`	Describes that a specific layer of the texture needs to be updated. Normally when Texture#needsUpdate is set to `true`, the entire data texture array is sent to the GPU. M…
`.clearLayerUpdates()`	Resets the layer updates registry.
