**Inherits:** :ref:`VisualShaderNode<class_VisualShaderNode>` **<** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

**Inherited By:** :ref:`VisualShaderNodeVaryingGetter<class_VisualShaderNodeVaryingGetter>`, :ref:`VisualShaderNodeVaryingSetter<class_VisualShaderNodeVaryingSetter>`

A visual shader node that represents a "varying" shader value.

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

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

Varying values are shader variables that can be passed between shader functions, e.g. from Vertex shader to Fragment shader.
