CanvasItemMaterial
==================

**Inherits:** :ref:`Material<class_Material>` **<** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`Reference<class_Reference>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A material for :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>`\ s.

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

``CanvasItemMaterial``\ s provide a means of modifying the textures associated with a CanvasItem. They specialize in describing blend and lighting behaviors for textures. Use a :ref:`ShaderMaterial<class_ShaderMaterial>` to more fully customize a material's interactions with a :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>`.

+-----------+-----------------------+
| *Default* | ``0``                 |
+-----------+-----------------------+

.. _class_CanvasItemMaterial_property_particles_anim_h_frames:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **particles_anim_h_frames**

+----------+------------------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_particles_anim_h_frames(value) |
+----------+------------------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_particles_anim_h_frames()      |
+----------+------------------------------------+

The number of columns in the spritesheet assigned as :ref:`Texture<class_Texture>` for a :ref:`Particles2D<class_Particles2D>` or :ref:`CPUParticles2D<class_CPUParticles2D>`.

\ **Note:** This property is only used and visible in the editor if :ref:`particles_animation<class_CanvasItemMaterial_property_particles_animation>` is ``true``.

----

.. _class_CanvasItemMaterial_property_particles_anim_loop:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **particles_anim_loop**

+----------+--------------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_particles_anim_loop(value) |
+----------+--------------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_particles_anim_loop()      |
+----------+--------------------------------+

If ``true``, the particles animation will loop.

\ **Note:** This property is only used and visible in the editor if :ref:`particles_animation<class_CanvasItemMaterial_property_particles_animation>` is ``true``.

----

.. _class_CanvasItemMaterial_property_particles_anim_v_frames:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **particles_anim_v_frames**

+----------+------------------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_particles_anim_v_frames(value) |
+----------+------------------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_particles_anim_v_frames()      |
+----------+------------------------------------+

The number of rows in the spritesheet assigned as :ref:`Texture<class_Texture>` for a :ref:`Particles2D<class_Particles2D>` or :ref:`CPUParticles2D<class_CPUParticles2D>`.

\ **Note:** This property is only used and visible in the editor if :ref:`particles_animation<class_CanvasItemMaterial_property_particles_animation>` is ``true``.

----

.. _class_CanvasItemMaterial_property_particles_animation:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **particles_animation**

+-----------+--------------------------------+
| *Default* | ``false``                      |
+-----------+--------------------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_particles_animation(value) |
+-----------+--------------------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_particles_animation()      |
+-----------+--------------------------------+

If ``true``, enable spritesheet-based animation features when assigned to :ref:`Particles2D<class_Particles2D>` and :ref:`CPUParticles2D<class_CPUParticles2D>` nodes. The :ref:`ParticlesMaterial.anim_speed<class_ParticlesMaterial_property_anim_speed>` or :ref:`CPUParticles2D.anim_speed<class_CPUParticles2D_property_anim_speed>` should also be set to a positive value for the animation to play.

This property (and other ``particles_anim_*`` properties that depend on it) has no effect on other types of nodes.
