RenderConfig

Type:
  • object
Properties:
Name Type Argument Default Description
antialias boolean <optional>
 true

When set to true, WebGL uses linear interpolation to draw scaled or rotated textures, giving a smooth appearance. When set to false, WebGL uses nearest-neighbor interpolation, giving a crisper appearance. false also disables antialiasing of the game canvas itself, if the browser supports it, when the game canvas is scaled.
antialiasGL boolean <optional>
 true

Sets the antialias property when the WebGL context is created. Setting this value does not impact any subsequent textures that are created, or the canvas style attributes.
desynchronized boolean <optional>
 false

When set to true it will create a desynchronized context for both 2D and WebGL. See https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2019/05/desynchronized for details.
pixelArt boolean <optional>
 false

Sets antialias to false and roundPixels to true. This is the best setting for pixel-art games.
roundPixels boolean <optional>
 false

Draw texture-based Game Objects at only whole-integer positions. Game Objects without textures, like Graphics, ignore this property.
transparent boolean <optional>
 false

clearBeforeRender boolean <optional>
 true

Whether the game canvas will be cleared between each rendering frame.
premultipliedAlpha boolean <optional>
 true

In WebGL mode, the drawing buffer contains colors with pre-multiplied alpha.
failIfMajorPerformanceCaveat boolean <optional>

When in WebGL mode, this sets the maximum number of GPU Textures to use. The default, -1, will use all available units. The WebGL1 spec says all browsers should provide a minimum of 8.
mipmapFilter string <optional>
 'LINEAR'

The mipmap magFilter to be used when creating WebGL textures.
pipline Phaser.Types.Core.PipelineConfig <optional>

The WebGL Pipeline configuration object.
