SegmentShape2D
==============

**Inherits:** :ref:`Shape2D<class_Shape2D>` **<** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Segment shape resource for 2D physics.

Description
-----------

2D segment shape to be added as a *direct* child of a :ref:`PhysicsBody2D<class_PhysicsBody2D>` or :ref:`Area2D<class_Area2D>` using a :ref:`CollisionShape2D<class_CollisionShape2D>` node. Consists of two points, ``a`` and ``b``.

\ **Performance:** Being a primitive collision shape, ``SegmentShape2D`` is fast to check collisions against (though not as fast as :ref:`CircleShape2D<class_CircleShape2D>`).

Properties
