TWGL: A Tiny WebGL helper Library<div id="pronounce" style="font-size: xx-small;">[rhymes with wiggle]</div>
=====================================================

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/greggman/twgl.js.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/greggman/twgl.js)

This library's sole purpose is to make using the WebGL API less verbose.

## TL;DR

If you want to get stuff done use [three.js](http://threejs.org). If you want
to do stuff low-level with WebGL consider using [TWGL](http://github.com/greggman/twgl.js/).

## The tiniest example

Not including the shaders (which is a simple quad shader) here's the entire code

```html
<canvas id="c"></canvas>
<script src="../dist/4.x/twgl-full.min.js"></script>
<script>
  const gl = document.getElementById("c").getContext("webgl");
  const programInfo = twgl.createProgramInfo(gl, ["vs", "fs"]);

  const arrays = {
    position: [-1, -1, 0, 1, -1, 0, -1, 1, 0, -1, 1, 0, 1, -1, 0, 1, 1, 0],
  };
  const bufferInfo = twgl.createBufferInfoFromArrays(gl, arrays);

  function render(time) {
    twgl.resizeCanvasToDisplaySize(gl.canvas);
    gl.viewport(0, 0, gl.canvas.width, gl.canvas.height);

    const uniforms = {
      time: time * 0.001,
      resolution: [gl.canvas.width, gl.canvas.height],
    };

    gl.useProgram(programInfo.program);
    twgl.setBuffersAndAttributes(gl, programInfo, bufferInfo);
    twgl.setUniforms(programInfo, uniforms);
    twgl.drawBufferInfo(gl, bufferInfo);

    requestAnimationFrame(render);
  }
  requestAnimationFrame(render);
</script>
```

[And here it is live](http://twgljs.org/examples/tiny.html).

## Why? What? How?

WebGL is a very verbose API. Setting up shaders, buffers, attributes and uniforms
takes a lot of code. A simple lit cube in WebGL might easily take over 60 calls into WebGL.

At its core there's really only a few main functions

*   `twgl.createProgramInfo` compiles a shader and creates setters for attribs and uniforms
*   `twgl.createBufferInfoFromArrays` creates buffers and attribute settings
*   `twgl.setBuffersAndAttributes` binds buffers and sets attributes
*   `twgl.setUniforms` sets the uniforms
*   `twgl.createTextures` creates textures of various sorts
*   `twgl.createFramebufferInfo` creates a framebuffer and attachments.

There's a few extra helpers and lower-level functions if you need them but those 6 functions are the core of TWGL.

Compare the TWGL vs WebGL code for a point lit cube.

### Compiling a Shader and looking up locations

TWGL

```javascript
const programInfo = twgl.createProgramInfo(gl, ["vs", "fs"]);
```

WebGL

```javascript
// Note: I'm conceding that you'll likely already have the 30 lines of
// code for compiling GLSL
const program = twgl.createProgramFromScripts(gl, ["vs", "fs"]);

const u_lightWorldPosLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_lightWorldPos");
const u_lightColorLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_lightColor");
const u_ambientLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_ambient");
const u_specularLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_specular");
const u_shininessLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_shininess");
const u_specularFactorLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_specularFactor");
const u_diffuseLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_diffuse");
const u_worldLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_world");
const u_worldInverseTransposeLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_worldInverseTranspose");
const u_worldViewProjectionLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_worldViewProjection");
const u_viewInverseLoc = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_viewInverse");

const positionLoc = gl.getAttribLocation(program, "a_position");
const normalLoc = gl.getAttribLocation(program, "a_normal");
const texcoordLoc = gl.getAttribLocation(program, "a_texcoord");
```

### Creating Buffers for a Cube

TWGL

```javascript
const arrays = {
  position: [1,1,-1,1,1,1,1,-1,1,1,-1,-1,-1,1,1,-1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,1,-1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,-1,-1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,1,-1,-1,1,-1,1,-1,-1,1,1,1,1,-1,1,1,-1,-1,1,1,-1,1,-1,1,-1,1,1,-1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1],
  normal:   [1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1],
  texcoord: [1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1],
  indices:  [0,1,2,0,2,3,4,5,6,4,6,7,8,9,10,8,10,11,12,13,14,12,14,15,16,17,18,16,18,19,20,21,22,20,22,23],
};
const bufferInfo = twgl.createBufferInfoFromArrays(gl, arrays);
```

WebGL
```javascript
const positions = [1,1,-1,1,1,1,1,-1,1,1,-1,-1,-1,1,1,-1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,1,-1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,-1,-1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,1,-1,-1,1,-1,1,-1,-1,1,1,1,1,-1,1,1,-1,-1,1,1,-1,1,-1,1,-1,1,1,-1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1];
const normals   = [1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1,0,0,-1];
const texcoords = [1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1];
const indices   = [0,1,2,0,2,3,4,5,6,4,6,7,8,9,10,8,10,11,12,13,14,12,14,15,16,17,18,16,18,19,20,21,22,20,22,23];

const positionBuffer = gl.createBuffer();
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, positionBuffer);
gl.bufferData(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, new Float32Array(positions), gl.STATIC_DRAW);
const normalBuffer = gl.createBuffer();
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, normalBuffer);
gl.bufferData(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, new Float32Array(normals), gl.STATIC_DRAW);
const texcoordBuffer = gl.createBuffer();
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, texcoordBuffer);
gl.bufferData(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, new Float32Array(texcoords), gl.STATIC_DRAW);
const indicesBuffer = gl.createBuffer();
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indicesBuffer);
gl.bufferData(gl.ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, new Uint16Array(indices), gl.STATIC_DRAW);
```

### Setting Attributes and Indices for a Cube

TWGL

```javascript
twgl.setBuffersAndAttributes(gl, programInfo, bufferInfo);
```

WebGL

```javascript
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, positionBuffer);
gl.vertexAttribPointer(positionLoc, 3, gl.FLOAT, false, 0, 0);
gl.enableVertexAttribArray(positionLoc);
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, normalBuffer);
gl.vertexAttribPointer(normalLoc, 3, gl.FLOAT, false, 0, 0);
gl.enableVertexAttribArray(normalLoc);
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, texcoordBuffer);
gl.vertexAttribPointer(texcoordLoc, 2, gl.FLOAT, false, 0, 0);
gl.enableVertexAttribArray(texcoordLoc);
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indicesBuffer);
```

### Setting Uniforms for a Lit Cube

TWGL

```javascript
// At Init time
const uniforms = {
  u_lightWorldPos: [1, 8, -10],
  u_lightColor: [1, 0.8, 0.8, 1],
  u_ambient: [0, 0, 0, 1],
  u_specular: [1, 1, 1, 1],
  u_shininess: 50,
  u_specularFactor: 1,
  u_diffuse: tex,
};

// At render time
uniforms.u_viewInverse = camera;
uniforms.u_world = world;
uniforms.u_worldInverseTranspose = m4.transpose(m4.inverse(world));
uniforms.u_worldViewProjection = m4.multiply(viewProjection, world);

twgl.setUniforms(programInfo, uniforms);
```

WebGL

```javascript
// At Init time
const u_lightWorldPos = [1, 8, -10];
const u_lightColor = [1, 0.8, 0.8, 1];
const u_ambient = [0, 0, 0, 1];
const u_specular = [1, 1, 1, 1];
const u_shininess = 50;
const u_specularFactor = 1;
const u_diffuse = 0;

// At render time
gl.uniform3fv(u_lightWorldPosLoc, u_lightWorldPos);
gl.uniform4fv(u_lightColorLoc, u_lightColor);
gl.uniform4fv(u_ambientLoc, u_ambient);
gl.uniform4fv(u_specularLoc, u_specular);
gl.uniform1f(u_shininessLoc, u_shininess);
gl.uniform1f(u_specularFactorLoc, u_specularFactor);
gl.uniform1i(u_diffuseLoc, u_diffuse);
gl.uniformMatrix4fv(u_viewInverseLoc, false, camera);
gl.uniformMatrix4fv(u_worldLoc, false, world);
gl.uniformMatrix4fv(u_worldInverseTransposeLoc, false, m4.transpose(m4.inverse(world)));
gl.uniformMatrix4fv(u_worldViewProjectionLoc, false, m4.multiply(viewProjection, world));
```

### Loading / Setting up textures

TWGL

```javascript
const textures = twgl.createTextures(gl, {
  // a power of 2 image
  hftIcon: { src: "images/hft-icon-16.png", mag: gl.NEAREST },
  // a non-power of 2 image
  clover: { src: "images/clover.jpg" },
  // From a canvas
  fromCanvas: { src: ctx.canvas },
  // A cubemap from 6 images
  yokohama: {
    target: gl.TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP,
    src: [
      'images/yokohama/posx.jpg',
      'images/yokohama/negx.jpg',
      'images/yokohama/posy.jpg',
      'images/yokohama/negy.jpg',
      'images/yokohama/posz.jpg',
      'images/yokohama/negz.jpg',
    ],
  },
  // A cubemap from 1 image (can be 1x6, 2x3, 3x2, 6x1)
  goldengate: {
    target: gl.TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP,
    src: 'images/goldengate.jpg',
  },
  // A 2x2 pixel texture from a JavaScript array
  checker: {
    mag: gl.NEAREST,
    min: gl.LINEAR,
    src: [
      255,255,255,255,
      192,192,192,255,
      192,192,192,255,
      255,255,255,255,
    ],
  },
  // a 1x8 pixel texture from a typed array.
  stripe: {
    mag: gl.NEAREST,
    min: gl.LINEAR,
    format: gl.LUMINANCE,
    src: new Uint8Array([
      255,
      128,
      255,
      128,
      255,
      128,

### Creating Framebuffers and attachments

TWGL

```javascript
const attachments = [
  { format: RGBA, type: UNSIGNED_BYTE, min: LINEAR, wrap: CLAMP_TO_EDGE },
  { format: DEPTH_STENCIL, },
];
const fbi = twgl.createFramebufferInfo(gl, attachments);
```

WebGL

```javascript
const fb = gl.createFramebuffer(gl.FRAMEBUFFER);
gl.bindFramebuffer(gl.FRAMEBUFFER, fb);
const tex = gl.createTexture();
gl.bindTexture(gl.TEXTURE_2D, tex);
gl.texImage2D(gl.TEXTURE_2D, 0, gl.RGBA, gl.drawingBufferWidth, gl.drawingBufferHeight, 0, gl.RGBA, gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE, null);
gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_WRAP_S, gl.CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_WRAP_T, gl.CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, gl.LINEAR);
gl.framebufferTexture2D(gl.FRAMEBUFFER, gl.COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, gl.TEXTURE_2D, tex, 0);
const rb = gl.createRenderbuffer();
gl.bindRenderbuffer(gl.RENDERBUFFER, rb);
gl.renderbufferStorage(gl.RENDERBUFFER, gl.DEPTH_STENCIL, gl.drawingBufferWidth, gl.drawingBufferHeight);
gl.framebufferRenderbuffer(gl.FRAMEBUFFER, gl.DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT, gl.RENDERBUFFER, rb);
```

## Rationale and other chit-chat

TWGL's is an attempt to make WebGL simpler by providing a few tiny helper functions
that make it much less verbose and remove the tedium. TWGL is **NOT** trying to help
with the complexity of managing shaders and writing GLSL. Nor is it a 3D library like
[three.js](http://threejs.org). It's just trying to make WebGL less verbose.

TWGL can be considered a spiritual successor to [TDL](http://github.com/greggman/tdl). Where
as TDL created several *classes* that wrapped WebGL, TWGL tries not to wrap anything. In fact
you can manually create nearly all TWGL data structures.

For example the function `setAttributes` takes an object of attributes.
In WebGL you might write code like this

```javascript
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, positionBuffer);
gl.vertexAttribPointer(positionLoc, 3, gl.FLOAT, false, 0, 0);
gl.enableVertexAttribArray(positionLoc);
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, normalBuffer);
gl.vertexAttribPointer(normalLoc, 3, gl.FLOAT, false, 0, 0);
gl.enableVertexAttribArray(normalLoc);
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, texcoordBuffer);
gl.vertexAttribPointer(texcoordLoc, 2, gl.FLOAT, false, 0, 0);
gl.enableVertexAttribArray(texcoordLoc);
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, colorsBuffer);
gl.vertexAttribPointer(colorLoc, 4, gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE, true, 0, 0);
gl.enableVertexAttribArray(colorLoc);
```

`setAttributes` is just the simplest code to do that for you.

```javascript
// make attributes for TWGL manually
const attribs = {
  a_position: { buffer: positionBuffer, size: 3, },
  a_normal:   { buffer: normalBuffer,   size: 3, },
  a_texcoord: { buffer: texcoordBuffer, size: 2, },
  a_color:    { buffer: colorBuffer,    size: 4, type: gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE, normalize: true, },
};
twgl.setAttributes(attribSetters, attribs);
```

The point of the example above is TWGL is a **thin** wrapper. All it's doing is trying
to make common WebGL operations easier and less verbose. Feel free to mix it with raw WebGL.
