ViewportTexture
===============

**Inherits:** :ref:`Texture2D<class_Texture2D>` **<** :ref:`Texture<class_Texture>` **<** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Texture which displays the content of a :ref:`Viewport<class_Viewport>`.

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

Displays the content of a :ref:`Viewport<class_Viewport>` node as a dynamic :ref:`Texture2D<class_Texture2D>`. This can be used to mix controls, 2D, and 3D elements in the same scene.

To create a ViewportTexture in code, use the :ref:`Viewport.get_texture<class_Viewport_method_get_texture>` method on the target viewport.

.. _class_ViewportTexture_property_viewport_path:

- :ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>` **viewport_path**

+-----------+-----------------------------------+
| *Default* | ``NodePath("")``                  |
+-----------+-----------------------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_viewport_path_in_scene(value) |
+-----------+-----------------------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_viewport_path_in_scene()      |
+-----------+-----------------------------------+

The path to the :ref:`Viewport<class_Viewport>` node to display. This is relative to the scene root, not to the node which uses the texture.
