.. _class_ReferenceRect_property_border_color:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`Color<class_Color>` **border_color** = ``Color(1, 0, 0, 1)`` :ref:`🔗<class_ReferenceRect_property_border_color>`

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

- |void| **set_border_color**\ (\ value\: :ref:`Color<class_Color>`\ )
- :ref:`Color<class_Color>` **get_border_color**\ (\ )

Sets the border color of the **ReferenceRect**.

.. _class_ReferenceRect_property_border_width:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`float<class_float>` **border_width** = ``1.0`` :ref:`🔗<class_ReferenceRect_property_border_width>`

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

- |void| **set_border_width**\ (\ value\: :ref:`float<class_float>`\ )
- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_border_width**\ (\ )

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **editor_only** = ``true`` :ref:`🔗<class_ReferenceRect_property_editor_only>`

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