==========

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

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

Abstract base class for everything in 2D space. 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 GUI-related nodes, and by :ref:`Node2D<class_Node2D>` for 2D game objects.

Any **CanvasItem** can draw. For this, :ref:`queue_redraw<class_CanvasItem_method_queue_redraw>` is called by the engine, then :ref:`NOTIFICATION_DRAW<class_CanvasItem_constant_NOTIFICATION_DRAW>` will be received on idle time to request a 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 be hidden, which will also hide its children. By adjusting various other properties of a **CanvasItem**, you can also modulate its color (via :ref:`modulate<class_CanvasItem_property_modulate>` or :ref:`self_modulate<class_CanvasItem_property_self_modulate>`), change its Z-index, blend mode, and more.

Signals
-------

.. _class_CanvasItem_signal_draw:

.. rst-class:: classref-signal

**draw** **(** **)**

Emitted when the **CanvasItem** must redraw, *after* the related :ref:`NOTIFICATION_DRAW<class_CanvasItem_constant_NOTIFICATION_DRAW>` notification, and *before* :ref:`_draw<class_CanvasItem_method__draw>` is called.

\ **Note:** Deferred connections do not allow drawing through the ``draw_*`` methods.

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

----

.. _class_CanvasItem_signal_hidden:

.. rst-class:: classref-signal

**hidden** **(** **)**

Emitted when becoming hidden.

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

----

.. _class_CanvasItem_signal_item_rect_changed:

.. rst-class:: classref-signal

**item_rect_changed** **(** **)**

Emitted when the item's :ref:`Rect2<class_Rect2>` boundaries (position or size) have changed, or when an action is taking place that may have impacted these boundaries (e.g. changing :ref:`Sprite2D.texture<class_Sprite2D_property_texture>`).

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

----

.. _class_CanvasItem_signal_visibility_changed:

.. rst-class:: classref-signal

**visibility_changed** **(** **)**

Emitted when the visibility (hidden/visible) changes.

Enumerations
------------

.. _enum_CanvasItem_TextureFilter:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration

enum **TextureFilter**:

.. _class_CanvasItem_constant_TEXTURE_FILTER_PARENT_NODE:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`TextureFilter<enum_CanvasItem_TextureFilter>` **TEXTURE_FILTER_PARENT_NODE** = ``0``

The **CanvasItem** will inherit the filter from its parent.

.. _class_CanvasItem_constant_TEXTURE_FILTER_NEAREST:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`TextureFilter<enum_CanvasItem_TextureFilter>` **TEXTURE_FILTER_NEAREST** = ``1``

The texture filter reads from the nearest pixel only. The simplest and fastest method of filtering. Useful for pixel art.

.. _class_CanvasItem_constant_TEXTURE_FILTER_LINEAR:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`TextureFilter<enum_CanvasItem_TextureFilter>` **TEXTURE_FILTER_LINEAR** = ``2``

The texture filter blends between the nearest four pixels. Use this for most cases where you want to avoid a pixelated style.

.. _class_CanvasItem_constant_TEXTURE_FILTER_NEAREST_WITH_MIPMAPS:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`TextureFilter<enum_CanvasItem_TextureFilter>` **TEXTURE_FILTER_NEAREST_WITH_MIPMAPS** = ``3``

The texture filter reads from the nearest pixel in the nearest mipmap. This is the fastest way to read from textures with mipmaps.

.. _class_CanvasItem_constant_TEXTURE_FILTER_LINEAR_WITH_MIPMAPS:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`TextureFilter<enum_CanvasItem_TextureFilter>` **TEXTURE_FILTER_LINEAR_WITH_MIPMAPS** = ``4``

The texture filter blends between the nearest 4 pixels and between the nearest 2 mipmaps. Use this for non-pixel art textures that may be viewed at a low scale (e.g. due to :ref:`Camera2D<class_Camera2D>` zoom), as mipmaps are important to smooth out pixels that are smaller than on-screen pixels.

.. _class_CanvasItem_constant_TEXTURE_FILTER_NEAREST_WITH_MIPMAPS_ANISOTROPIC:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`TextureFilter<enum_CanvasItem_TextureFilter>` **TEXTURE_FILTER_NEAREST_WITH_MIPMAPS_ANISOTROPIC** = ``5``

The texture filter reads from the nearest pixel, but selects a mipmap based on the angle between the surface and the camera view. This reduces artifacts on surfaces that are almost in line with the camera. The anisotropic filtering level can be changed by adjusting :ref:`ProjectSettings.rendering/textures/default_filters/anisotropic_filtering_level<class_ProjectSettings_property_rendering/textures/default_filters/anisotropic_filtering_level>`.

\ **Note:** This texture filter is rarely useful in 2D projects. :ref:`TEXTURE_FILTER_NEAREST_WITH_MIPMAPS<class_CanvasItem_constant_TEXTURE_FILTER_NEAREST_WITH_MIPMAPS>` is usually more appropriate.

:ref:`TextureFilter<enum_CanvasItem_TextureFilter>` **TEXTURE_FILTER_LINEAR_WITH_MIPMAPS_ANISOTROPIC** = ``6``

The texture filter blends between the nearest 4 pixels and selects a mipmap based on the angle between the surface and the camera view. This reduces artifacts on surfaces that are almost in line with the camera. This is the slowest of the filtering options, but results in the highest quality texturing. The anisotropic filtering level can be changed by adjusting :ref:`ProjectSettings.rendering/textures/default_filters/anisotropic_filtering_level<class_ProjectSettings_property_rendering/textures/default_filters/anisotropic_filtering_level>`.

\ **Note:** This texture filter is rarely useful in 2D projects. :ref:`TEXTURE_FILTER_LINEAR_WITH_MIPMAPS<class_CanvasItem_constant_TEXTURE_FILTER_LINEAR_WITH_MIPMAPS>` is usually more appropriate.

Subsequent drawing commands will be ignored unless they fall within the specified animation slice. This is a faster way to implement animations that loop on background rather than redrawing constantly.

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 an unfilled arc between the given angles with a uniform ``color`` and ``width`` and optional antialiasing (supported only for positive ``width``). The larger the value of ``point_count``, the smoother the curve. See also :ref:`draw_circle<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_circle>`.

If ``width`` is negative, then the arc is drawn using :ref:`RenderingServer.PRIMITIVE_LINE_STRIP<class_RenderingServer_constant_PRIMITIVE_LINE_STRIP>`. This means that when the CanvasItem is scaled, the arc will remain thin. If this behavior is not desired, then pass a positive ``width`` like ``1.0``.

The arc is drawn from ``start_angle`` towards the value of ``end_angle`` so in clockwise direction if ``start_angle < end_angle`` and counter-clockwise otherwise. Passing the same angles but in reversed order will produce the same arc. If absolute difference of ``start_angle`` and ``end_angle`` is greater than :ref:`@GDScript.TAU<class_@GDScript_constant_TAU>` radians, then a full circle arc is drawn (i.e. arc will not overlap itself).

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

If ``width`` is negative, then a two-point primitives will be drawn instead of a four-point ones. This means that when the CanvasItem is scaled, the line parts will remain thin. If this behavior is not desired, then pass a positive ``width`` like ``1.0``.

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

void **draw_end_animation** **(** **)**

After submitting all animations slices via :ref:`draw_animation_slice<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_animation_slice>`, this function can be used to revert drawing to its default state (all subsequent drawing commands will be visible).

Draws a textured rectangle region of the font texture with LCD subpixel anti-aliasing at a given position, optionally modulated by a color.

Texture is drawn using the following blend operation, blend mode of the :ref:`CanvasItemMaterial<class_CanvasItemMaterial>` is ignored:

::

Draws a textured rectangle region of the multi-channel signed distance field texture at a given position, optionally modulated by a color. See :ref:`FontFile.multichannel_signed_distance_field<class_FontFile_property_multichannel_signed_distance_field>` for more information and caveats about MSDF font rendering.

If ``outline`` is positive, each alpha channel value of pixel in region is set to maximum value of true distance in the ``outline`` radius.

Draws multiple disconnected lines with a uniform ``width`` and ``color``. Each line is defined by two consecutive points from ``points`` array, i.e. i-th segment consists of ``points[2 * i]``, ``points[2 * i + 1]`` endpoints. 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.

If ``width`` is negative, then two-point primitives will be drawn instead of a four-point ones. This means that when the CanvasItem is scaled, the lines will remain thin. If this behavior is not desired, then pass a positive ``width`` like ``1.0``.

Each segment is defined by two consecutive points from ``points`` array and a corresponding color from ``colors`` array, i.e. i-th segment consists of ``points[2 * i]``, ``points[2 * i + 1]`` endpoints and has ``colors[i]`` 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_colors<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_polyline_colors>` instead.

Draws a solid polygon of any number of points, convex or concave. Unlike :ref:`draw_colored_polygon<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_colored_polygon>`, each point's color can be changed individually. See also :ref:`draw_polyline<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_polyline>` and :ref:`draw_polyline_colors<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_polyline_colors>`. If you need more flexibility (such as being able to use bones), use :ref:`RenderingServer.canvas_item_add_triangle_array<class_RenderingServer_method_canvas_item_add_triangle_array>` instead.

Draws interconnected line segments with a uniform ``color`` and ``width`` and optional antialiasing (supported only for positive ``width``). When drawing large amounts of lines, this is faster than using individual :ref:`draw_line<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_line>` calls. To draw disconnected lines, use :ref:`draw_multiline<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_multiline>` instead. See also :ref:`draw_polygon<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_polygon>`.

If ``width`` is negative, the polyline is drawn using :ref:`RenderingServer.PRIMITIVE_LINE_STRIP<class_RenderingServer_constant_PRIMITIVE_LINE_STRIP>`. This means that when the CanvasItem is scaled, the polyline will remain thin. If this behavior is not desired, then pass a positive ``width`` like ``1.0``.

Draws interconnected line segments with a uniform ``width``, point-by-point coloring, and optional antialiasing (supported only for positive ``width``). Colors assigned to line points match by index between ``points`` and ``colors``, i.e. each line segment is filled with a gradient between the colors of the endpoints. When drawing large amounts of lines, this is faster than using individual :ref:`draw_line<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_line>` calls. To draw disconnected lines, use :ref:`draw_multiline_colors<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_multiline_colors>` instead. See also :ref:`draw_polygon<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_polygon>`.

If ``width`` is negative, then the polyline is drawn using :ref:`RenderingServer.PRIMITIVE_LINE_STRIP<class_RenderingServer_constant_PRIMITIVE_LINE_STRIP>`.

Draws a custom primitive. 1 point for a point, 2 points for a line, 3 points for a triangle, and 4 points for a quad. If 0 points or more than 4 points are specified, nothing will be drawn and an error message will be printed. See also :ref:`draw_line<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_line>`, :ref:`draw_polyline<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_polyline>`, :ref:`draw_polygon<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_polygon>`, and :ref:`draw_rect<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_rect>`.

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 **)**

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. See also :ref:`draw_texture_rect<class_CanvasItem_method_draw_texture_rect>`.

If ``width`` is negative, then two-point primitives will be drawn instead of a four-point ones. This means that when the CanvasItem is scaled, the lines will remain thin. If this behavior is not desired, then pass a positive ``width`` like ``1.0``.

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

\ **Note:** Unfilled rectangles drawn with a negative ``width`` may not display perfectly. For example, corners may be missing or brighter due to overlapping lines (for a translucent ``color``).

void **draw_set_transform** **(** :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` position, :ref:`float<class_float>` rotation=0.0, :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` scale=Vector2(1, 1) **)**

Sets a custom transform for drawing via components. Anything drawn afterwards will be transformed by this.

\ **Note:** :ref:`FontFile.oversampling<class_FontFile_property_oversampling>` does *not* take ``scale`` into account. This means that scaling up/down will cause bitmap fonts and rasterized (non-MSDF) dynamic fonts to appear blurry or pixelated. To ensure text remains crisp regardless of scale, you can enable MSDF font rendering by enabling :ref:`ProjectSettings.gui/theme/default_font_multichannel_signed_distance_field<class_ProjectSettings_property_gui/theme/default_font_multichannel_signed_distance_field>` (applies to the default project font only), or enabling **Multichannel Signed Distance Field** in the import options of a DynamicFont for custom fonts.

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