Signals
-------

.. _class_VisibilityNotifier2D_signal_screen_entered:

- **screen_entered** **(** **)**

Emitted when the VisibilityNotifier2D enters the screen.

.. _class_VisibilityNotifier2D_signal_screen_exited:

- **screen_exited** **(** **)**

Emitted when the VisibilityNotifier2D exits the screen.

----

.. _class_VisibilityNotifier2D_signal_viewport_entered:

- **viewport_entered** **(** :ref:`Viewport<class_Viewport>` viewport **)**

Emitted when the VisibilityNotifier2D enters a :ref:`Viewport<class_Viewport>`'s view.

----

.. _class_VisibilityNotifier2D_signal_viewport_exited:

- **viewport_exited** **(** :ref:`Viewport<class_Viewport>` viewport **)**

Emitted when the VisibilityNotifier2D exits a :ref:`Viewport<class_Viewport>`'s view.

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

The VisibilityNotifier2D detects when it is visible on the screen. It also notifies when its bounding rectangle enters or exits the screen or a viewport.

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

.. _class_VisibilityNotifier2D_property_rect:

- :ref:`Rect2<class_Rect2>` **rect**

+----------+-----------------+
| *Setter* | set_rect(value) |
+----------+-----------------+
| *Getter* | get_rect()      |
+----------+-----------------+

The VisibilityNotifier2D's bounding rectangle.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_VisibilityNotifier2D_method_is_on_screen:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_on_screen** **(** **)** const

If ``true``, the bounding rectangle is on the screen.

Note: It takes one frame for the node's visibility to be assessed once added to the scene tree, so this method will return ``false`` right after it is instantiated, even if it will be on screen in the draw pass.
