Float32Array

A typed array of 32-bit floating point values.

Float32Array provides a view of an array-like buffer of 32-bit floating point numbers, offering improved performance over regular Arrays when working with large amounts of numeric data, particularly in graphics and audio processing contexts.

This is a cross-platform abstraction that maps to native implementations:

• On web targets: Maps to JavaScript's native Float32Array
• On native targets (Clay): Uses optimized buffer implementations
• On headless targets: Falls back to a standard Array

Float32Arrays are commonly used in Ceramic for:

• Mesh vertex data and attributes
• Audio sample buffers
• Shader uniform arrays
• Performance-critical numeric computations

Example:

// Create a Float32Array with 100 elements
var buffer = new Float32Array(100);

// Set values
buffer[0] = 1.5;
buffer[1] = 2.7;

// Iterate through values
for (i in 0...buffer.length) {
    trace(buffer[i]);
}
