Description

A Viewport creates a different view into the screen, or a sub-view inside another viewport. Children 2D Nodes will display on it, and children Camera 3D nodes will render on it too.

Optionally, a viewport can have its own 2D or 3D world, so they don’t share what they draw with other viewports.

If a viewport is a child of a , it will automatically take up its size, otherwise it must be set manually.

Viewports can also choose to be audio listeners, so they generate positional audio depending on a 2D or 3D camera child of it.

Also, viewports can be assigned to different screens in case the devices have multiple screens.

Finally, viewports can also behave as render targets, in which case they will not be visible unless the associated texture is used to draw.

• Viewport and canvas transforms

Property Descriptions

• bool arvr

If , the viewport will be used in AR/VR process. Default value: false.

• audio_listener_enable_2d

If true, the viewport will process 2D audio streams. Default value: false.

• bool audio_listener_enable_3d

If true, the viewport will process 3D audio streams. Default value: false.

• canvas_transform

• DebugDraw debug_draw

The overlay mode for test rendered geometry in debug purposes. Default value: .

• bool disable_3d

If true, the viewport will disable 3D rendering. For actual disabling use usage. Default value: false.

• global_canvas_transform

The global canvas transform of the viewport. The canvas transform is relative to this.

• bool gui_disable_input

If true, the viewport will not receive input event. Default value: false.

• gui_snap_controls_to_pixels

If , the GUI controls on the viewport will lay pixel perfectly. Default value: true.

• bool handle_input_locally

• hdr

If true, the viewport rendering will receive benefits from High Dynamic Range algorithm. Default value: true.

• bool keep_3d_linear

If true, the result after 3D rendering will not have a linear to sRGB color conversion applied. This is important when the viewport is used as a render target where the result is used as a texture on a 3D object rendered in another viewport. It is also important if the viewport is used to create data that is not color based (noise, heightmaps, pickmaps, etc.). Do not enable this when the viewport is used as a texture on a 2D object or if the viewport is your final output.

• msaa

The multisample anti-aliasing mode. Default value: MSAA_DISABLED.

• own_world

If true, the viewport will use World defined in world property. Default value: false.

• physics_object_picking

If true, the objects rendered by viewport become subjects of mouse picking process. Default value: false.

• ClearMode render_target_clear_mode

The clear mode when viewport used as a render target. Default value: .

• UpdateMode render_target_update_mode

The update mode when viewport used as a render target. Default value: .

• bool render_target_v_flip

If true, the result of rendering will be flipped vertically. Default value: .

The subdivision amount of first quadrant on shadow atlas. Default value: SHADOW_ATLAS_QUADRANT_SUBDIV_4.

• shadow_atlas_quad_1

The subdivision amount of second quadrant on shadow atlas. Default value: SHADOW_ATLAS_QUADRANT_SUBDIV_4.

• ShadowAtlasQuadrantSubdiv shadow_atlas_quad_2

• int shadow_atlas_size

The resolution of shadow atlas. Both width and height is equal to one value.

• size

The width and height of viewport.

• bool transparent_bg

• usage

The rendering mode of viewport. Default value: USAGE_3D.

• World world

The custom which can be used as 3D environment source.

• World2D world_2d

The custom which can be used as 2D environment source.

Method Descriptions

• World find_world ( ) const

Returns the 2D world of the viewport.

Returns the topmost modal in the stack.

Returns information about the viewport from the rendering pipeline.

• Vector2 get_size_override ( ) const

Returns the size override set with .

• ViewportTexture get_texture ( ) const

Returns the viewport’s texture. Note that due to the way OpenGL works, the resulting is flipped vertically. You can use Image.flip_y on the result of to flip it back, for example:

• RID get_viewport_rid ( ) const

Returns the viewport’s RID from the .

• Rect2 get_visible_rect ( ) const

Returns the visible rectangle in global screen coordinates.

• gui_get_drag_data ( ) const

Returns the drag data from the GUI, that was previously returned by Control.get_drag_data.

• gui_has_modal_stack ( ) const

Returns true if there are visible modals on-screen.

• bool gui_is_dragging ( ) const

• void input ( local_event )

• bool is_input_handled ( ) const

• is_size_override_enabled ( ) const

Returns true if the size override is enabled. See set_size_override.

• void set_input_as_handled ( )

• void set_size_override ( enable, Vector2 size=Vector2( -1, -1 ), margin=Vector2( 0, 0 ) )

Sets the size override of the viewport. If the enable parameter is the override is used, otherwise it uses the default size. If the size parameter is (-1, -1), it won’t update the size.

• void set_size_override_stretch ( bool enabled )

• void unhandled_input ( local_event )

Forces update of the 2D and 3D worlds.
