Bone2D
======

**Inherits:** :ref:`Node2D<class_Node2D>` **<** :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Joint used with :ref:`Skeleton2D<class_Skeleton2D>` to control and animate other nodes.

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

Use a hierarchy of ``Bone2D`` bound to a :ref:`Skeleton2D<class_Skeleton2D>` to control, and animate other :ref:`Node2D<class_Node2D>` nodes.

You can use ``Bone2D`` and ``Skeleton2D`` nodes to animate 2D meshes created with the Polygon 2D UV editor.

Each bone has a :ref:`rest<class_Bone2D_property_rest>` transform that you can reset to with :ref:`apply_rest<class_Bone2D_method_apply_rest>`. These rest poses are relative to the bone's parent.

If in the editor, you can set the rest pose of an entire skeleton using a menu option, from the code, you need to iterate over the bones to set their individual rest poses.

.. _class_Bone2D_property_rest:

- :ref:`Transform2D<class_Transform2D>` **rest**

+-----------+-------------------------------------+
| *Default* | ``Transform2D( 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 )`` |
+-----------+-------------------------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_rest(value)                     |
+-----------+-------------------------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_rest()                          |
+-----------+-------------------------------------+

Rest transform of the bone. You can reset the node's transforms to this value using :ref:`apply_rest<class_Bone2D_method_apply_rest>`.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_Bone2D_method_apply_rest:

- void **apply_rest** **(** **)**

Stores the node's current transforms in :ref:`rest<class_Bone2D_property_rest>`.

----

.. _class_Bone2D_method_get_index_in_skeleton:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_index_in_skeleton** **(** **)** |const|

Returns the node's index as part of the entire skeleton. See :ref:`Skeleton2D<class_Skeleton2D>`.

----

.. _class_Bone2D_method_get_skeleton_rest:

- :ref:`Transform2D<class_Transform2D>` **get_skeleton_rest** **(** **)** |const|

Returns the node's :ref:`rest<class_Bone2D_property_rest>` ``Transform2D`` if it doesn't have a parent, or its rest pose relative to its parent.
