turns a gl type into a dtype string
npm install gl-to-dtype
Turns a WebGL constant into a dtype string.
``js
var asDtype = require('gl-to-dtype')
var dtype = require('dtype')
var glType = gl.FLOAT
var type = asDtype(glType)
var array = new (dtype(type))(16)
`
Converts the following:
`js`
gl.FLOAT -> 'float32'
gl.UNSIGNED_INT -> 'uint32'
gl.INT -> 'int32'
gl.UNSIGNED_SHORT -> 'uint16'
gl.SHORT -> 'int16'
gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE -> 'uint8'
gl.BYTE -> 'int8'
gl.UNSIGNED_SHORT_4_4_4_4 -> 'uint16'
gl.UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_5_5_1 -> 'uint16'
gl.UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5 -> 'uint16'
#### require('gl-to-dtype')(glType)
Takes glType constant and returns a string representation aligning with ndarray, dtype and other modules.
Returns null` if the flag isn't recognized as a supported type.
