# [name]

A [link:https://webglfundamentals.org/webgl/lessons/webgl-render-to-texture.html render target] is a buffer where the video card draws pixels for a scene that is being rendered in the background. It is used in different effects, such as applying postprocessing to a rendered image before displaying it on the screen.

## Constructor

### [name]([param:Number width], [param:Number height], [param:Object options])

[page:Float width] - The width of the renderTarget.
[page:Float height] - The height of the renderTarget.
options - (optional object that holds texture parameters for an auto-generated target texture and depthBuffer/stencilBuffer booleans. For an explanation of the texture parameters see [page:Texture Texture]. The following are valid options:
[page:Constant wrapS] - default is [page:Textures ClampToEdgeWrapping].
[page:Constant wrapT] - default is [page:Textures ClampToEdgeWrapping].
[page:Constant magFilter] - default is [page:Textures LinearFilter].
[page:Constant minFilter] - default is [page:Textures LinearFilter].
[page:Constant format] - default is [page:Textures RGBAFormat].
[page:Constant type] - default is [page:Textures UnsignedByteType].
[page:Number anisotropy] - default is *1*. See [page:Texture.anistropy]
[page:Constant encoding] - default is [page:Textures LinearEncoding].
[page:Boolean depthBuffer] - default is *true*. Set this to false if you don't need it.
[page:Boolean stencilBuffer] - default is *true*. Set this to false if you don't need it.

## Properties

### [property:number width]

The width of the render target.

### [property:number height]

The height of the render target.

### [property:Vector4 scissor]

A rectangular area inside the render target's viewport. Fragments that are outside the area will be discarded.

### [property:boolean scissorTest]

Indicates whether the scissor test is active or not.

### [property:Vector4 viewport]

The viewport of this render target.

### [property:Texture texture]

This texture instance holds the rendered pixels. Use it as input for further processing.

### [property:boolean depthBuffer]

Renders to the depth buffer. Default is true.

### [property:boolean stencilBuffer]

Renders to the stencil buffer. Default is true.

### [property:DepthTexture depthTexture]

If set, the scene depth will be rendered to this texture. Default is null.

## Methods

### [method:null setSize]( [param:Number width], [param:Number height] )

### [method:WebGLRenderTarget clone]()

Creates a copy of this render target.

### [method:WebGLRenderTarget copy]( [param:WebGLRenderTarget source] )

Adopts the settings of the given render target.

### [method:null dispose]()

Dispatches a dispose event.
