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

**Inherits:** :ref:`Texture<class_Texture>` **<** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`Reference<class_Reference>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

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

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

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.

.. _class_ViewportTexture_property_viewport_path:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>` **viewport_path** = ``NodePath("")``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_viewport_path_in_scene** **(** :ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>` value **)**
- :ref:`NodePath<class_NodePath>` **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.
