SubViewport
===========

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

Creates a sub-view into the screen.

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

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

**SubViewport** is a :ref:`Viewport<class_Viewport>` that isn't a :ref:`Window<class_Window>`, i.e. it doesn't draw anything by itself. To display something, **SubViewport**'s :ref:`size<class_SubViewport_property_size>` must be non-zero and it should be either put inside a :ref:`SubViewportContainer<class_SubViewportContainer>` or assigned to a :ref:`ViewportTexture<class_ViewportTexture>`.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_SubViewport_property_render_target_clear_mode:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`ClearMode<enum_SubViewport_ClearMode>` **render_target_clear_mode** = ``0``

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

- void **set_clear_mode** **(** :ref:`ClearMode<enum_SubViewport_ClearMode>` value **)**
- :ref:`ClearMode<enum_SubViewport_ClearMode>` **get_clear_mode** **(** **)**

The clear mode when the sub-viewport is used as a render target.

\ **Note:** This property is intended for 2D usage.

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

----

.. _class_SubViewport_property_render_target_update_mode:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`UpdateMode<enum_SubViewport_UpdateMode>` **render_target_update_mode** = ``2``

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

- void **set_update_mode** **(** :ref:`UpdateMode<enum_SubViewport_UpdateMode>` value **)**
- :ref:`UpdateMode<enum_SubViewport_UpdateMode>` **get_update_mode** **(** **)**

The update mode when the sub-viewport is used as a render target.

.. _class_SubViewport_property_size:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`Vector2i<class_Vector2i>` **size** = ``Vector2i(512, 512)``

- void **set_size** **(** :ref:`Vector2i<class_Vector2i>` value **)**
- :ref:`Vector2i<class_Vector2i>` **get_size** **(** **)**

The width and height of the sub-viewport. Must be set to a value greater than or equal to 2 pixels on both dimensions. Otherwise, nothing will be displayed.

\ **Note:** If the parent node is a :ref:`SubViewportContainer<class_SubViewportContainer>` and its :ref:`SubViewportContainer.stretch<class_SubViewportContainer_property_stretch>` is ``true``, the viewport size cannot be changed manually.
