	</brief_description>
	<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 [ViewportContainer], 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.

			If [code]true[/code], the viewport rendering will receive benefits from High Dynamic Range algorithm. High Dynamic Range allows the viewport to receive values that are outside the 0-1 range. In Godot HDR uses 16 bits, meaning it does not store the full range of a floating point number.

			If [code]true[/code], 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.

			If [code]true[/code], renders the Viewport directly to the screen instead of to the root viewport. Only available in GLES2. This is a low-level optimization and should not be used in most cases. If used, reading from the Viewport or from [code]SCREEN_TEXTURE[/code] becomes unavailable. For more information see [method VisualServer.viewport_set_render_direct_to_screen].
