<brief_description>
Base class of anything 2D.
</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 queue_redraw] is called by the engine, 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 [method _draw], its corresponding [method Object._notification] or methods connected to the [signal draw] signal.
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.deg_to_rad].

<methods>
<method name="_draw" qualifiers="virtual">
<return type="void" />
<description>
Called when [CanvasItem] has been requested to redraw (after [method queue_redraw] is called, either manually or by the engine).
Corresponds to the [constant NOTIFICATION_DRAW] notification in [method Object._notification].
</description>
</method>
<method name="draw_animation_slice">
<return type="void" />
<param index="0" name="animation_length" type="float" />
<param index="1" name="slice_begin" type="float" />
<param index="2" name="slice_end" type="float" />
<param index="3" name="offset" type="float" default="0.0" />
<description>
Subsequent drawing commands will be ignored unless they fall within the specified animation slice. This is a faster way to implement animations that loop on background rather than redrawing constantly.
</description>
</method>
<method name="draw_arc">
<return type="void" />
<param index="0" name="center" type="Vector2" />
<param index="1" name="radius" type="float" />
<param index="2" name="start_angle" type="float" />
<param index="3" name="end_angle" type="float" />
<param index="4" name="point_count" type="int" />
<param index="5" name="color" type="Color" />
<param index="6" name="width" type="float" default="1.0" />
<param index="7" name="antialiased" type="bool" default="false" />
<description>
Draws an unfilled arc between the given angles. The larger the value of [param point_count], the smoother the curve. See also [method draw_circle].
The arc is drawn from [param start_angle] towards the value of [param end_angle] so in clockwise direction if [code]start_angle < end_angle[/code] and counter-clockwise otherwise. Passing the same angles but in reversed order will produce the same arc. If absolute difference of [param start_angle] and [param end_angle] is greater than [constant @GDScript.TAU] radians, then a full circle arc is drawn (i.e. arc will not overlap itself).

<method name="draw_colored_polygon">
<return type="void" />
<param index="0" name="points" type="PackedVector2Array" />
<param index="1" name="color" type="Color" />
<param index="2" name="uvs" type="PackedVector2Array" default="PackedVector2Array()" />
<param index="3" name="texture" type="Texture2D" default="null" />
<description>
Draws a colored polygon of any number of points, convex or concave. Unlike [method draw_polygon], a single color must be specified for the whole polygon.
</description>
</method>
<method name="draw_dashed_line">
<return type="void" />
<param index="0" name="from" type="Vector2" />
<param index="1" name="to" type="Vector2" />
<param index="2" name="color" type="Color" />

<param index="4" name="dash" type="float" default="2.0" />
<param index="5" name="aligned" type="bool" default="true" />
<description>
Draws a dashed line from a 2D point to another, with a given color and width. See also [method draw_multiline] and [method draw_polyline].
If [param width] is negative, then a two-point primitives will be drawn instead of a four-point ones. This means that when the CanvasItem is scaled, the line parts will remain thin. If this behavior is not desired, then pass a positive [param width] like [code]1.0[/code].
</description>
</method>
<method name="draw_end_animation">
<return type="void" />
<description>
After submitting all animations slices via [method draw_animation_slice], this function can be used to revert drawing to its default state (all subsequent drawing commands will be visible). If you don't care about this particular use case, usage of this function after submitting the slices is not required.

<param index="2" name="src_rect" type="Rect2" />
<param index="3" name="modulate" type="Color" default="Color(1, 1, 1, 1)" />
<description>
Draws a textured rectangle region of the font texture with LCD subpixel anti-aliasing at a given position, optionally modulated by a color.
Texture is drawn using the following blend operation, blend mode of the [CanvasItemMaterial] is ignored:
[codeblock]
dst.r = texture.r * modulate.r * modulate.a + dst.r * (1.0 - texture.r * modulate.a);
dst.g = texture.g * modulate.g * modulate.a + dst.g * (1.0 - texture.g * modulate.a);
dst.b = texture.b * modulate.b * modulate.a + dst.b * (1.0 - texture.b * modulate.a);
dst.a = modulate.a + dst.a * (1.0 - modulate.a);

<description>
Draws a line from a 2D point to another, with a given color and width. It can be optionally antialiased. See also [method draw_multiline] and [method draw_polyline].
If [param width] is negative, then a two-point primitive will be drawn instead of a four-point one. This means that when the CanvasItem is scaled, the line will remain thin. If this behavior is not desired, then pass a positive [param width] like [code]1.0[/code].

<param index="3" name="modulate" type="Color" default="Color(1, 1, 1, 1)" />
<description>
Draws a [Mesh] in 2D, using the provided texture. See [MeshInstance2D] for related documentation.
</description>
</method>
<method name="draw_msdf_texture_rect_region">
<return type="void" />
<param index="0" name="texture" type="Texture2D" />
<param index="1" name="rect" type="Rect2" />
<param index="2" name="src_rect" type="Rect2" />
<param index="3" name="modulate" type="Color" default="Color(1, 1, 1, 1)" />

<param index="5" name="pixel_range" type="float" default="4.0" />
<param index="6" name="scale" type="float" default="1.0" />
<description>
Draws a textured rectangle region of the multi-channel signed distance field texture at a given position, optionally modulated by a color. See [member FontFile.multichannel_signed_distance_field] for more information and caveats about MSDF font rendering.
If [param outline] is positive, each alpha channel value of pixel in region is set to maximum value of true distance in the [param outline] radius.
Value of the [param pixel_range] should the same that was used during distance field texture generation.

<method name="draw_multiline">
<return type="void" />
<param index="0" name="points" type="PackedVector2Array" />
<param index="1" name="color" type="Color" />
<param index="2" name="width" type="float" default="-1.0" />
<description>
Draws multiple disconnected lines with a uniform [param color]. When drawing large amounts of lines, this is faster than using individual [method draw_line] calls. To draw interconnected lines, use [method draw_polyline] instead.
If [param width] is negative, then two-point primitives will be drawn instead of a four-point ones. This means that when the CanvasItem is scaled, the lines will remain thin. If this behavior is not desired, then pass a positive [param width] like [code]1.0[/code].

</method>
<method name="draw_multiline_colors">
<return type="void" />
<param index="0" name="points" type="PackedVector2Array" />
<param index="1" name="colors" type="PackedColorArray" />
<param index="2" name="width" type="float" default="-1.0" />
<description>
Draws multiple disconnected lines with a uniform [param width] and segment-by-segment coloring. Colors assigned to line segments match by index between [param points] and [param colors]. When drawing large amounts of lines, this is faster than using individual [method draw_line] calls. To draw interconnected lines, use [method draw_polyline_colors] instead.
If [param width] is negative, then two-point primitives will be drawn instead of a four-point ones. This means that when the CanvasItem is scaled, the lines will remain thin. If this behavior is not desired, then pass a positive [param width] like [code]1.0[/code].

<description>
Breaks [param text] into lines and draws it using the specified [param font] at the [param pos] (top-left corner). The text will have its color multiplied by [param modulate]. If [param width] is greater than or equal to 0, the text will be clipped if it exceeds the specified width.

<description>
Draws a rectangle. If [param filled] is [code]true[/code], the rectangle will be filled with the [param color] specified. If [param filled] is [code]false[/code], the rectangle will be drawn as a stroke with the [param color] and [param width] specified.
If [param width] is negative, then two-point primitives will be drawn instead of a four-point ones. This means that when the CanvasItem is scaled, the lines will remain thin. If this behavior is not desired, then pass a positive [param width] like [code]1.0[/code].
[b]Note:[/b] [param width] is only effective if [param filled] is [code]false[/code].
[b]Note:[/b] Unfilled rectangles drawn with a negative [param width] may not display perfectly. For example, corners may be missing or brighter due to overlapping lines (for a translucent [param color]).
