InterleavedBuffer

"Interleaved" means that multiple attributes, possibly of different types, (e.g., position, normal, uv, color) are packed into a single array buffer.

An introduction into interleaved arrays can be found here: Interleaved array basics

Constructor​

InterleavedBuffer​

function InterleavedBuffer( array: TypedArray, stride: Integer ): void;

array -- A typed array with a shared buffer. Stores the geometry data.
stride -- The number of typed-array elements per vertex.

Properties​

array​

array: Array;

A typed array with a shared buffer. Stores the geometry data.

stride​

stride: Integer;

The number of typed-array elements per vertex.

count​

count: Integer;

Gives the total number of elements in the array.

updateRange​

updateRange: Object;

Object containing offset and count.
- offset: Default is 0.
- count: Default is -1.

uuid​

uuid: String;

UUID of this instance. This gets automatically assigned, so this shouldn't be edited.

version​

version: Integer;

A version number, incremented every time the needsUpdate property is set to true.

needsUpdate​

needsUpdate: Boolean;

Default is false. Setting this to true increments version.

usage​

usage: Usage;

Defines the intended usage pattern of the data store for optimization purposes. Corresponds to the usage parameter of WebGLRenderingContext.bufferData().

Methods​

copy​

function copy( source: InterleavedBuffer ): this;

Copies another InterleavedBuffer to this InterleavedBuffer.

copyAt​

function copyAt( index1: Integer, attribute: InterleavedBuffer, index2:
Integer ): this;

Copies data from attribute[index2] to array[index1].

set​

function set( value: TypedArray, offset: Integer ): this;

value - The source (typed) array.
offset - The offset into the target array at which to begin writing values from the source array. Default is 0.

Stores multiple values in the buffer, reading input values from a specified array.

clone​

function clone( data: Object ): InterleavedBuffer;

data - This object holds shared array buffers required for properly cloning geometries with interleaved attributes.

Creates a clone of this InterleavedBuffer.

setUsage​

function setUsage( value: Usage ): this;

Set usage to value.

toJSON​

function toJSON( data: Object ): Object;

data - This object holds shared array buffers required for properly serializing geometries with interleaved attributes.

Serializes this InterleavedBuffer.
