	</brief_description>
	<description>
		Base class of anything 2D. Canvas items are laid out in a tree; children inherit and extend their parent's transform. [CanvasItem] is extended by [Control] for anything GUI-related, and by [Node2D] for anything related to the 2D engine.
		Any [CanvasItem] can draw. For this, [method update] must be called, then [constant NOTIFICATION_DRAW] will be received on idle time to request redraw. Because of this, canvas items don't need to be redrawn on every frame, improving the performance significantly. Several functions for drawing on the [CanvasItem] are provided (see [code]draw_*[/code] functions). However, they can only be used inside the [method Object._notification], signal or [method _draw] virtual functions.
		Canvas items are drawn in tree order. By default, children are on top of their parents so a root [CanvasItem] will be drawn behind everything. This behavior can be changed on a per-item basis.
		A [CanvasItem] can also be hidden, which will also hide its children. It provides many ways to change parameters such as modulation (for itself and its children) and self modulation (only for itself), as well as its blend mode.
		Ultimately, a transform notification can be requested, which will notify the node that its global position changed in case the parent tree changed.
		[b]Note:[/b] Unless otherwise specified, all methods that have angle parameters must have angles specified as [i]radians[/i]. To convert degrees to radians, use [method @GlobalScope.deg2rad].

		<constant name="NOTIFICATION_TRANSFORM_CHANGED" value="2000">
			The [CanvasItem]'s transform has changed. This notification is only received if enabled by [method set_notify_transform] or [method set_notify_local_transform].
		</constant>
		<constant name="NOTIFICATION_DRAW" value="30">
			The [CanvasItem] is requested to draw.
		</constant>
		<constant name="NOTIFICATION_VISIBILITY_CHANGED" value="31">
			The [CanvasItem]'s visibility has changed.
		</constant>
		<constant name="NOTIFICATION_ENTER_CANVAS" value="32">
			The [CanvasItem] has entered the canvas.
		</constant>
		<constant name="NOTIFICATION_EXIT_CANVAS" value="33">
			The [CanvasItem] has exited the canvas.
		</constant>
		<constant name="TEXTURE_FILTER_PARENT_NODE" value="0" enum="TextureFilter">
			The [CanvasItem] will inherit the filter from its parent.
		</constant>
		<constant name="TEXTURE_FILTER_NEAREST" value="1" enum="TextureFilter">
			The texture filter reads from the nearest pixel only. The simplest and fastest method of filtering. Useful for pixel art.
		</constant>
		<constant name="TEXTURE_FILTER_LINEAR" value="2" enum="TextureFilter">
			The texture filter blends between the nearest four pixels. Use this for most cases where you want to avoid a pixelated style.
		</constant>
		<constant name="TEXTURE_FILTER_NEAREST_WITH_MIPMAPS" value="3" enum="TextureFilter">
			The texture filter reads from the nearest pixel in the nearest mipmap. This is the fastest way to read from textures with mipmaps.
		</constant>
		<constant name="TEXTURE_FILTER_LINEAR_WITH_MIPMAPS" value="4" enum="TextureFilter">
			The texture filter blends between the nearest 4 pixels and between the nearest 2 mipmaps. Use this for non-pixel art textures that may be viewed at a low scale (e.g. due to [Camera2D] zoom), as mipmaps are important to smooth out pixels that are smaller than on-screen pixels.
		</constant>
		<constant name="TEXTURE_FILTER_NEAREST_WITH_MIPMAPS_ANISOTROPIC" value="5" enum="TextureFilter">
			The texture filter reads from the nearest pixel, but selects a mipmap based on the angle between the surface and the camera view. This reduces artifacts on surfaces that are almost in line with the camera.
			[b]Note:[/b] This texture filter is rarely useful in 2D projects. [constant TEXTURE_FILTER_NEAREST_WITH_MIPMAPS] is usually more appropriate.
		</constant>
		<constant name="TEXTURE_FILTER_LINEAR_WITH_MIPMAPS_ANISOTROPIC" value="6" enum="TextureFilter">
			The texture filter blends between the nearest 4 pixels and selects a mipmap based on the angle between the surface and the camera view. This reduces artifacts on surfaces that are almost in line with the camera. This is the slowest of the filtering options, but results in the highest quality texturing.
			[b]Note:[/b] This texture filter is rarely useful in 2D projects. [constant TEXTURE_FILTER_LINEAR_WITH_MIPMAPS] is usually more appropriate.
		</constant>
		<constant name="TEXTURE_FILTER_MAX" value="7" enum="TextureFilter">
			Represents the size of the [enum TextureFilter] enum.
		</constant>
		<constant name="TEXTURE_REPEAT_PARENT_NODE" value="0" enum="TextureRepeat">
			The [CanvasItem] will inherit the filter from its parent.
		</constant>
		<constant name="TEXTURE_REPEAT_DISABLED" value="1" enum="TextureRepeat">
			Texture will not repeat.
		</constant>
		<constant name="TEXTURE_REPEAT_ENABLED" value="2" enum="TextureRepeat">
			Texture will repeat normally.
		</constant>
		<constant name="TEXTURE_REPEAT_MIRROR" value="3" enum="TextureRepeat">
			Texture will repeat in a 2x2 tiled mode, where elements at even positions are mirrored.
		</constant>
		<constant name="TEXTURE_REPEAT_MAX" value="4" enum="TextureRepeat">
			Represents the size of the [enum TextureRepeat] enum.
