VisualShaderNodeStep
====================

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

Calculates a Step function within the visual shader graph.

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

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

Translates to ``step(edge, x)`` in the shader language.

Returns ``0.0`` if ``x`` is smaller than ``edge`` and ``1.0`` otherwise.
