Copies viewport to a region of the screen specified by [code]rect[/code]. If Viewport.[member Viewport.render_direct_to_screen] is [code]true[/code], then viewport does not use a framebuffer and the contents of the viewport are rendered directly to screen. However, note that the root viewport is drawn last, therefore it will draw over the screen. Accordingly, you must set the root viewport to an area that does not cover the area that you have attached this viewport to. For example, you can set the root viewport to not render at all with the following code: [codeblock] func _ready(): get_viewport().set_attach_to_screen_rect(Rect2()) $Viewport.set_attach_to_screen_rect(Rect2(0, 0, 600, 600)) [/codeblock] Using this can result in significant optimization, especially on lower-end devices. However, it comes at the cost of having to manage your viewports manually. For a further optimization see, [method viewport_set_render_direct_to_screen]. Creates an empty viewport. Detaches the viewport from the screen. Returns a viewport's render info. for options see VIEWPORT_RENDER_INFO* constants. Returns the viewport's last rendered frame. Detaches a viewport from a canvas and vice versa. If [code]true[/code], sets the viewport active, else sets it inactive. Sets the stacking order for a viewport's canvas. [code]layer[/code] is the actual canvas layer, while [code]sublayer[/code] specifies the stacking order of the canvas among those in the same layer. Sets the transformation of a viewport's canvas. Sets the clear mode of a viewport. See [enum ViewportClearMode] for options. Sets the debug draw mode of a viewport. See [enum ViewportDebugDraw] for options. If [code]true[/code], a viewport's 3D rendering is disabled. If [code]true[/code], rendering of a viewport's environment is disabled. Sets the viewport's global transformation matrix. If [code]true[/code], the viewport renders to hdr. If [code]true[/code], the viewport's canvas is not rendered. Sets the anti-aliasing mode. see [enum ViewportMSAA] for options. Sets the viewport's parent to another viewport. If [code]true[/code], render the contents of the viewport directly to screen. This allows a low-level optimization where you can skip drawing a viewport to the root viewport. While this optimization can result in a significant increase in speed (especially on older devices), it comes at a cost of usability. When this is enabled, you cannot read from the viewport or from the [code]SCREEN_TEXTURE[/code]. You also lose the benefit of certain window settings, such as the various stretch modes. Another consequence to be aware of is that in 2D the rendering happens in window coordinates, so if you have a viewport that is double the size of the window, and you set this, then only the portion that fits within the window will be drawn, no automatic scaling is possible, even if your game scene is significantly larger than the window size. Sets a viewport's scenario. The scenario contains information about the [enum ScenarioDebugMode], environment information, reflection atlas etc. Sets the shadow atlas quadrant's subdivision. Sets the size of the shadow atlas's images. Sets the viewport's width and height. If [code]true[/code], the viewport renders its background as transparent. Sets when the viewport should be updated. See [enum ViewportUpdateMode] constants for options. Sets the viewport's 2D/3D mode. See [enum ViewportUsage] constants for options.

Repeat (instead of clamp to edge). Turn on magnifying filter, to enable smooth zooming in of the texture. Anisotropic mipmap filtering. Generates smaller versions of the same texture with different aspect ratios. More effective on planes often shown going to the horrizon as those textures (Walls or Ground for example) get squashed in the viewport to different aspect ratios and regular mipmaps keep the aspect ratio so they don't optimize storage that well in those cases.
