SubViewport
===========

**Inherits:** :ref:`Viewport<class_Viewport>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Creates a sub-view into the screen.

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

``SubViewport`` is a :ref:`Viewport<class_Viewport>` that isn't a :ref:`Window<class_Window>`, i.e. it doesn't draw anything by itself. To display something, ``SubViewport``'s :ref:`size<class_SubViewport_property_size>` must be non-zero and it should be either put inside a :ref:`SubViewportContainer<class_SubViewportContainer>` or assigned to a :ref:`ViewportTexture<class_ViewportTexture>`.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_SubViewport_property_render_target_clear_mode:

- :ref:`ClearMode<enum_SubViewport_ClearMode>` **render_target_clear_mode**

+-----------+-----------------------+
| *Default* | ``0``                 |
+-----------+-----------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_clear_mode(value) |
+-----------+-----------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_clear_mode()      |
+-----------+-----------------------+

The clear mode when the sub-viewport is used as a render target.

\ **Note:** This property is intended for 2D usage.

----

.. _class_SubViewport_property_render_target_update_mode:

- :ref:`UpdateMode<enum_SubViewport_UpdateMode>` **render_target_update_mode**

+-----------+------------------------+
| *Default* | ``2``                  |
+-----------+------------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_update_mode(value) |
+-----------+------------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_update_mode()      |
+-----------+------------------------+

The update mode when the sub-viewport is used as a render target.

----

.. _class_SubViewport_property_size:

- :ref:`Vector2i<class_Vector2i>` **size**

+-----------+------------------------+
| *Default* | ``Vector2i(512, 512)`` |
+-----------+------------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_size(value)        |
+-----------+------------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_size()             |
+-----------+------------------------+

The width and height of the sub-viewport.

----

.. _class_SubViewport_property_size_2d_override:

- :ref:`Vector2i<class_Vector2i>` **size_2d_override**

+-----------+-----------------------------+
| *Default* | ``Vector2i(0, 0)``          |
+-----------+-----------------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_size_2d_override(value) |
+-----------+-----------------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_size_2d_override()      |
+-----------+-----------------------------+

The 2D size override of the sub-viewport. If either the width or height is ``0``, the override is disabled.

----

.. _class_SubViewport_property_size_2d_override_stretch:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **size_2d_override_stretch**

+-----------+---------------------------------------+
| *Default* | ``false``                             |
+-----------+---------------------------------------+

+-----------+---------------------------------------+
| *Getter*  | is_size_2d_override_stretch_enabled() |
