VisibleOnScreenNotifier2D
=========================

**Inherits:** :ref:`Node2D<class_Node2D>` **<** :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

**Inherited By:** :ref:`VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D<class_VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D>`

Detects when the node extents are visible on screen.

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

The VisibleOnScreenNotifier2D detects when it is visible on the screen. It also notifies when its bounding rectangle enters or exits the screen or a viewport.

If you want nodes to be disabled automatically when they exit the screen, use :ref:`VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D<class_VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D>` instead.

The VisibleOnScreenNotifier2D's bounding rectangle.

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

.. _class_VisibleOnScreenNotifier2D_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.
