Package Exports

flatten-vertex-data

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (flatten-vertex-data) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

flatten-vertex-data

Copies flat or nested array data into the specified typed array, or a new typed array. Intended to be used for WebGL buffers. If the input is nested array data, this guesses the dimensionality based on the length of the first sub-array.

Install

npm install flatten-vertex-data --save

Example

Accepts a dtype string (creating a new array) or an output typed array to re-use. Defaults to creating a new Float32Array.

var flatten = require('flatten-vertex-data')

var positions = [ [x1, y1], [x2, y2], [x3, y3] ]

flatten(positions)
//=> new Float32Array([ x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3 ])

flatten(positions, 'uint16')
//=> new Uint16Array([ x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3 ])

// flatten & copy positions into output
var output = new Uint16Array(positions.length * 2)
flatten(positions, output)

Usage

`output = flatten(data, [output|type], [offset])`

Copies flat or nested arrays into a typed array, where data can be:

a nested array like [ [ x, y ], [ x, y ] ]
a flat array like [ x, y, z, x, y, z ]
a typed array like new Float32Array([ x, y ])

The second parameter can be a type string for dtype, which creates a new array. Or, it can be an existing typed array to re-use as the output destination. It defaults to 'float32' (a new Float32Array).

Returns the output typed array.

The third parameter, offset, can be a number (default 0), the index in the destination array at which to start copying the data. If a new array is being created, its capacity will be expanded to fit dataLength + offset (i.e. it will have leading zeros).
