ViewportContainer
=================

**Inherits:** :ref:`Container<class_Container>` **<** :ref:`Control<class_Control>` **<** :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Control for holding :ref:`Viewport<class_Viewport>`\ s.

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

A :ref:`Container<class_Container>` node that holds a :ref:`Viewport<class_Viewport>`, automatically setting its size.

**Note:** Changing a ViewportContainer's :ref:`Control.rect_scale<class_Control_property_rect_scale>` will cause its contents to appear distorted. To change its visual size without causing distortion, adjust the node's margins instead (if it's not already in a container).

Properties
----------

+-------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------+
| :ref:`bool<class_bool>` | :ref:`stretch<class_ViewportContainer_property_stretch>`               | ``false`` |
+-------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------+
| :ref:`int<class_int>`   | :ref:`stretch_shrink<class_ViewportContainer_property_stretch_shrink>` | ``1``     |
+-------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------+

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

.. _class_ViewportContainer_property_stretch:

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

+-----------+----------------------+
| *Default* | ``false``            |
+-----------+----------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_stretch(value)   |
+-----------+----------------------+
| *Getter*  | is_stretch_enabled() |
+-----------+----------------------+

If ``true``, the viewport will be scaled to the control's size.

----

.. _class_ViewportContainer_property_stretch_shrink:

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

+-----------+---------------------------+
| *Default* | ``1``                     |
+-----------+---------------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_stretch_shrink(value) |
+-----------+---------------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_stretch_shrink()      |
+-----------+---------------------------+

Divides the viewport's effective resolution by this value while preserving its scale. This can be used to speed up rendering.

For example, a 1280×720 viewport with :ref:`stretch_shrink<class_ViewportContainer_property_stretch_shrink>` set to ``2`` will be rendered at 640×360 while occupying the same size in the container.

**Note:** :ref:`stretch<class_ViewportContainer_property_stretch>` must be ``true`` for this property to work.
