<div class="summary">
<p>WebGL (Biblioteca de Gráficos da Web) é uma API de JavaScript para a renderização de gráficos 2D e 3D interativos dentro de qualquer navegador da Web compatível sem a utilização de plug-ins. WebGL fazi isso, ao introduzir uma API que está em conformidade com o OpenGL ES 2.0 que pode ser utilizado em elementos {{HTMLElement("canvas")}} de HTML5.</p>
</div>

<p>O suporte para WebGL está presente no <a href="/pt-PT/docs/Mozilla/Firefox" title="Firefox 4 for developers">Firefox</a> 4+, <a href="http://www.google.com/chrome/" title="http://www.google.com/chrome/">Google Chrome</a> 9+, <a href="http://www.opera.com/" title="http://www.opera.com/">Opera</a> 12+, <a href="http://www.apple.com/safari/" title="http://www.apple.com/fr/safari/">Safari </a>5.1+ and <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/browser-ie" title="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/download-ie">Internet Explorer</a> 11+, e <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/pt-pt/windows/microsoft-edge">Microsoft Edge</a> build 10240+; contudo, o dispositivo do utilizador também deve ter hardware que suporte estas funcionalidades.</p>

<p>O elemento {{HTMLElement("canvas")}} também é utilizado por <a href="/pt-PT/docs/Web/API/API_de_canvas">Canvas 2D</a> para gráficos 2D nas páginas da Web.</p>

<h3 id="Notas_de_compatibilidade">Notas de compatibilidade</h3>

<p>In addition to the browser, the GPU itself also needs to support the feature. So, for example, S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) is only available on Tegra-based tablets. Most browsers make the WebGL context available through the <code>webgl</code> context name, but older ones need <code>experimental-webgl</code> as well. In addition, the upcoming <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebGL2RenderingContext">WebGL 2</a> is fully backwards-compatible and will have the context name <code>webgl2</code>.</p>

<h3 id="Notas_do_Gecko">Notas do Gecko</h3>

<h4 id="Depuração_e_teste_de_WebGL">Depuração e teste de WebGL</h4>

<p>Starting with Gecko 10.0 {{geckoRelease("10.0")}}, there are two preferences available which let you control the capabilities of WebGL for testing purposes:</p>

<dl>
 <dt><code>webgl.min_capability_mode</code></dt>
 <dd>A Boolean property that, when <code>true</code>, enables a minimum capability mode. When in this mode, WebGL is configured to only support the bare minimum feature set and capabilities required by the WebGL specification. This lets you ensure that your WebGL code will work on any device or browser, regardless of their capabilities. This is <code>false</code> by default.</dd>
 <dt><code>webgl.disable_extensions</code></dt>
 <dd>A Boolean property that, when <code>true</code>, disables all WebGL extensions. This is <code>false</code> by default.</dd>
</dl>
