830061 - WebGL: Context "viewport" function to change resolution undocumented

This entry explains how to set up a WebGL context. The rendered resolution will take the resolution of the canvas element but will not change should the canvas element change (such as if the window gets resized and the canvas is not fixed-size). To change the resolution which WebGL renders at, you will need to call the "viewport" function of the WebGL context. This function seems undocumented on the MDN and this seems like a good place to add it.

Added section "Resizing the WebGL context" to the page with the relevant information.
