Class DataTexture

Creates a texture directly from raw data, width and height.

Example

// create a buffer with color data
const width = 512;
const height = 512;
const size = width * height;
const data = new Uint8Array(4 * size);
const color = new THREE.Color(0xffffff);
const r = Math.floor(color.r * 255);
const g = Math.floor(color.g * 255);
const b = Math.floor(color.b * 255);
for (let i = 0; i & lt; size; i++) {
    const stride = i * 4;
    data[stride] = r;
    data[stride + 1] = g;
    data[stride + 2] = b;
    data[stride + 3] = 255;
}
// used the buffer to create a [name]
const texture = new THREE.DataTexture(data, width, height);
texture.needsUpdate = true;

Properties

anisotropy

anisotropy: number

The number of samples taken along the axis through the pixel that has the highest density of texels.

Remarks

A higher value gives a less blurry result than a basic mipmap, at the cost of more Texture samples being used.

Default

value of THREE.Texture.DEFAULT_ANISOTROPY. That is normally 1.

center

center: Vector2

The point around which rotation occurs.

Remarks

A value of (0.5, 0.5) corresponds to the center of the texture.

new THREE.Vector2( 0, 0 ), lower left.

channel

channel: number

Lets you select the uv attribute to map the texture to. 0 for uv, 1 for uv1, 2 for uv2 and 3 for uv3.

colorSpace

colorSpace: ColorSpace

The Textures | {@link Texture constants} page for details of other color spaces.

Remarks

Textures containing color data should be annotated with THREE.SRGBColorSpace or THREE.LinearSRGBColorSpace.

See

Default Value

THREE.NoColorSpace

encoding

encoding: TextureEncoding

The Textures | {@link Texture constants} page for details of other formats.

Remarks

Values of encoding !== THREE.LinearEncoding are only supported on map, envMap and emissiveMap.

generateMipmaps

generateMipmaps: boolean

Default Value

false

id: number

Unique number for this Texture instance.

Remarks

Note that ids are assigned in chronological order: 1, 2, 3, ..., incrementing by one for each new object.

The GPU Pixel Format allows the developer to specify how the data is going to be stored on the GPU.

Remarks

Compatible only with WebGL2RenderingContext | WebGL 2 Rendering Context.

See

Texture Constants

Default Value

The default value is obtained using a combination of .format and .type.

Remarks

This is a constant value

Default Value

true

isRenderTargetTexture

isRenderTargetTexture: boolean

Default Value

false

`Readonly`isTexture

isTexture

Read-only flag to check if a given object is of type Texture.

Remarks

This is a constant value

Default Value

true

How the image is applied to the object.

Remarks

All Texture types except THREE.CubeTexture expect the values be THREE.Mapping

See

Texture Constants

Default Value

value of THREE.Texture.DEFAULT_MAPPING

matrix

matrix: Matrix3

The uv-transform matrix for the texture.

Remarks

When .matrixAutoUpdate property is true. Will be updated by the renderer from the properties:

See

.matrixAutoUpdate

Default Value

new THREE.Matrix3()

matrixAutoUpdate

matrixAutoUpdate: boolean

Whether is to update the texture's uv-transform .matrix.

Remarks

Set this to false if you are specifying the uv-transform matrix directly.

See

.matrix

Default Value

true

minFilter

minFilter: MinificationTextureFilter

Default Value

THREE.NearestFilter

mipmaps

Indicates whether this texture should be processed by THREE.PMREMGenerator or not.

Remarks

Only relevant for render target textures.

Default Value

false

offset

offset: Vector2

How much a single repetition of the texture is offset from the beginning, in each direction U and V.

Remarks

Typical range is 0.0 to 1.0.

Default Value

new THREE.Vector2(0, 0)

onUpdate

onUpdate: (() => void)

A callback function, called when the texture is updated (e.g., when needsUpdate has been set to true and then the texture is used).

premultiplyAlpha

premultiplyAlpha: boolean

If set to true, the alpha channel, if present, is multiplied into the color channels when the texture is uploaded to the GPU.

Remarks

Note that this property has no effect for ImageBitmap. You need to configure on bitmap creation instead. See ImageBitmapLoader.

See

ImageBitmapLoader.

Default Value

false

repeat

repeat: Vector2

How many times the texture is repeated across the surface, in each direction U and V.

Remarks

If repeat is set greater than 1 in either direction, the corresponding Wrap parameter should also be set to THREE.RepeatWrapping or THREE.MirroredRepeatWrapping to achieve the desired tiling effect.

See

wrapS
wrapT

Default Value

new THREE.Vector2( 1, 1 )

rotation

rotation: number

How much the texture is rotated around the center point, in radians.

Remarks

Positive values are counter-clockwise.

Default Value

0

source

source: external.three.Source

The data definition of a texture. A reference to the data source can be shared across textures. This is often useful in context of spritesheets where multiple textures render the same data but with different Texture transformations.

type

type: TextureDataType

This must correspond to the .format.

Remarks

THREE.UnsignedByteType, is the type most used by Texture formats.

See

Default Value

THREE.UnsignedByteType

1

userData

userData: Record<string, any>

An object that can be used to store custom data about the texture.

Remarks

It should not hold references to functions as these will not be cloned.

Remarks

This gets automatically assigned and shouldn't be edited.

version

version: number

This starts at 0 and counts how many times .needsUpdate is set to true.

Remarks

Expects a Integer

Default Value

0

wrapS

wrapS: Wrapping

This defines how the Texture is wrapped horizontally and corresponds to U in UV mapping.

Remarks

for WEBGL1 - tiling of images in textures only functions if image dimensions are powers of two (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, ...) in terms of pixels. Individual dimensions need not be equal, but each must be a power of two. This is a limitation of WebGL1, not three.js. WEBGL2 does not have this limitation.
