CanvasItem
==========

**Inherits:** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

**Inherited By:** :ref:`Control<class_Control>`, :ref:`Node2D<class_Node2D>`

Base class of anything 2D.

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

Base class of anything 2D. Canvas items are laid out in a tree; children inherit and extend their parent's transform. **CanvasItem** is extended by :ref:`Control<class_Control>` for anything GUI-related, and by :ref:`Node2D<class_Node2D>` for anything related to the 2D engine.

Any **CanvasItem** can draw. For this, :ref:`update<class_CanvasItem_method_update>` is called by the engine, then :ref:`NOTIFICATION_DRAW<class_CanvasItem_constant_NOTIFICATION_DRAW>` will be received on idle time to request redraw. Because of this, canvas items don't need to be redrawn on every frame, improving the performance significantly. Several functions for drawing on the **CanvasItem** are provided (see ``draw_*`` functions). However, they can only be used inside :ref:`_draw<class_CanvasItem_method__draw>`, its corresponding :ref:`Object._notification<class_Object_method__notification>` or methods connected to the :ref:`draw<class_CanvasItem_signal_draw>` signal.

Canvas items are drawn in tree order. By default, children are on top of their parents so a root **CanvasItem** will be drawn behind everything. This behavior can be changed on a per-item basis.

A **CanvasItem** can also be hidden, which will also hide its children. It provides many ways to change parameters such as modulation (for itself and its children) and self modulation (only for itself), as well as its blend mode.

Ultimately, a transform notification can be requested, which will notify the node that its global position changed in case the parent tree changed.

\ **Note:** Unless otherwise specified, all methods that have angle parameters must have angles specified as *radians*. To convert degrees to radians, use :ref:`@GDScript.deg2rad<class_@GDScript_method_deg2rad>`.

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

.. _class_CanvasItem_method__draw:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **_draw** **(** **)** |virtual|

Called when **CanvasItem** has been requested to redraw (when :ref:`update<class_CanvasItem_method_update>` is called, either manually or by the engine).

Corresponds to the :ref:`NOTIFICATION_DRAW<class_CanvasItem_constant_NOTIFICATION_DRAW>` notification in :ref:`Object._notification<class_Object_method__notification>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CanvasItem_method_draw_arc:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **draw_arc** **(** :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` center, :ref:`float<class_float>` radius, :ref:`float<class_float>` start_angle, :ref:`float<class_float>` end_angle, :ref:`int<class_int>` point_count, :ref:`Color<class_Color>` color, :ref:`float<class_float>` width=1.0, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` antialiased=false **)**

Draws a unfilled arc between the given angles. The larger the value of ``point_count``, the smoother the curve. See also :ref:`draw_circle<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_circle>`.

\ **Note:** Line drawing is not accelerated by batching if ``antialiased`` is ``true``.

\ **Note:** Due to how it works, built-in antialiasing will not look correct for translucent lines and may not work on certain platforms. As a workaround, install the `Antialiased Line2D <https://github.com/godot-extended-libraries/godot-antialiased-line2d>`__ add-on then create an AntialiasedRegularPolygon2D node. That node relies on a texture with custom mipmaps to perform antialiasing. 2D batching is also still supported with those antialiased lines.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CanvasItem_method_draw_char:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`float<class_float>` **draw_char** **(** :ref:`Font<class_Font>` font, :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` position, :ref:`String<class_String>` char, :ref:`String<class_String>` next, :ref:`Color<class_Color>` modulate=Color( 1, 1, 1, 1 ) **)**

Draws a string character using a custom font. Returns the advance, depending on the character width and kerning with an optional next character.

----

.. _class_CanvasItem_method_draw_circle:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **draw_circle** **(** :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` position, :ref:`float<class_float>` radius, :ref:`Color<class_Color>` color **)**

\ **Note:** Built-in antialiasing is not provided for :ref:`draw_circle<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_circle>`. As a workaround, install the `Antialiased Line2D <https://github.com/godot-extended-libraries/godot-antialiased-line2d>`__ add-on then create an AntialiasedRegularPolygon2D node.

Draws a colored polygon of any amount of points, convex or concave. Unlike :ref:`draw_polygon<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_polygon>`, a single color must be specified for the whole polygon.

\ **Note:** Due to how it works, built-in antialiasing will not look correct for translucent polygons and may not work on certain platforms.

Draws a line from a 2D point to another, with a given color and width. It can be optionally antialiased. See also :ref:`draw_multiline<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_multiline>` and :ref:`draw_polyline<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_polyline>`.

\ **Note:** Line drawing is not accelerated by batching if ``antialiased`` is ``true``.

\ **Note:** Due to how it works, built-in antialiasing will not look correct for translucent lines and may not work on certain platforms.

Draws multiple disconnected lines with a uniform ``color``. When drawing large amounts of lines, this is faster than using individual :ref:`draw_line<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_line>` calls. To draw interconnected lines, use :ref:`draw_polyline<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_polyline>` instead.

\ **Note:** ``width`` and ``antialiased`` are currently not implemented and have no effect. As a workaround, install the `Antialiased Line2D <https://github.com/godot-extended-libraries/godot-antialiased-line2d>`__ add-on then create an AntialiasedLine2D node. That node relies on a texture with custom mipmaps to perform antialiasing. 2D batching is also still supported with those antialiased lines.

Draws multiple disconnected lines with a uniform ``width`` and segment-by-segment coloring. Colors assigned to line segments match by index between ``points`` and ``colors``. When drawing large amounts of lines, this is faster than using individual :ref:`draw_line<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_line>` calls.

void **draw_rect** **(** :ref:`Rect2<class_Rect2>` rect, :ref:`Color<class_Color>` color, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` filled=true, :ref:`float<class_float>` width=1.0, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` antialiased=false **)**

Draws a rectangle. If ``filled`` is ``true``, the rectangle will be filled with the ``color`` specified. If ``filled`` is ``false``, the rectangle will be drawn as a stroke with the ``color`` and ``width`` specified. If ``antialiased`` is ``true``, the lines will attempt to perform antialiasing using OpenGL line smoothing.

\ **Note:** ``width`` and ``antialiased`` are only effective if ``filled`` is ``false``.

\ **Note:** Due to how it works, built-in antialiasing will not look correct for translucent polygons and may not work on certain platforms. As a workaround, install the `Antialiased Line2D <https://github.com/godot-extended-libraries/godot-antialiased-line2d>`__ add-on then create an AntialiasedPolygon2D node. That node relies on a texture with custom mipmaps to perform antialiasing.

Draws ``text`` using the specified ``font`` at the ``position`` (bottom-left corner using the baseline of the font). The text will have its color multiplied by ``modulate``. If ``clip_w`` is greater than or equal to 0, the text will be clipped if it exceeds the specified width.

\ **Example using the default project font:**\ 

::

    # If using this method in a script that redraws constantly, move the
    # `default_font` declaration to a member variable assigned in `_ready()`
    # so the Control is only created once.
    var default_font = Control.new().get_font("font")
    draw_string(default_font, Vector2(64, 64), "Hello world")
