Member Variables

  .. _class_CanvasLayer_custom_viewport:

- :ref:`Node<class_node>` **custom_viewport** - The custom :ref:`Viewport<class_viewport>` node assigned to the ``CanvasLayer``. If null, uses the default viewport instead.

  .. _class_CanvasLayer_layer:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **layer** - Layer index for draw order. Lower values are drawn first. Default value: ``1``.

  .. _class_CanvasLayer_offset:

- :ref:`Vector2<class_vector2>` **offset** - The layer's base offset.

  .. _class_CanvasLayer_rotation:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **rotation** - The layer's rotation in radians.

  .. _class_CanvasLayer_rotation_degrees:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **rotation_degrees** - The layer's rotation in degrees.

  .. _class_CanvasLayer_scale:

- :ref:`Vector2<class_vector2>` **scale** - The layer's scale.

  .. _class_CanvasLayer_transform:

- :ref:`Transform2D<class_transform2d>` **transform** - The layer's transform.


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

Canvas drawing layer. :ref:`CanvasItem<class_canvasitem>` nodes that are direct or indirect children of a ``CanvasLayer`` will be drawn in that layer. The layer is a numeric index that defines the draw order. The default 2D scene renders with index 0, so a ``CanvasLayer`` with index -1 will be drawn below, and one with index 1 will be drawn above. This is very useful for HUDs (in layer 1+ or above), or backgrounds (in layer -1 or below).

Member Function Description
---------------------------

.. _class_CanvasLayer_get_world_2d:

- :ref:`World2D<class_world2d>` **get_world_2d** **(** **)** const

Return the :ref:`World2D<class_world2d>` used by this layer.
