本篇内容主要讲解“如何在HTML5的浏览器上运行WebGL程序”，感兴趣的朋友不妨来看看。本文介绍的方法操作简单快捷，实用性强。下面就让小编来带大家学习“如何在HTML5的浏览器上运行WebGL程序”吧!
前提条件和预期结果
目前只有少数的浏览器支持 WebGL ，请看我的另外一篇文章：Can I use WebGL?.
下面的例子是在 Windows 下的 Chrome 16/23 以及 Android 下的 Firefox 17 进行测试。如果你使用的是非兼容浏览器访问则会弹出一个警告。 
图1：包含 Hello world 文本的动画的 WebGL 立方体
在兼容 HTML5 的浏览器上，你将会看到如下图所示的带动画效果的立方体：
图2: 示例运行的屏幕截图
该代码基于 Lighting in WebGL - How to simulate lighting effects in your WebGL context - 非常感谢这篇教程。在该实例初始运行时，动画的立方体是通过一个静态的 Bitmap 图形对象渲染的。
下面的代码演示如何在程序中动态的渲染文本：
XML/HTML Code复制内容到剪贴板
// TODO #1 New method to create a texture
function createCubeTexture(text) {
...
}
在这里使用 gl.pixelStorei(gl.UNPACK_FLIP_Y_WEBGL, true); 是非常重要的，用来确保写文本时不会前后颠倒。剩下的就很容易理解了：
