+---------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+

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

Displays the content of a :ref:`Viewport<class_Viewport>` node as a dynamic :ref:`Texture<class_Texture>`. 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.

| *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.
