Skeleton2D
==========

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

Skeleton for 2D characters and animated objects.

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

Skeleton2D parents a hierarchy of :ref:`Bone2D<class_Bone2D>` objects. It is a requirement of :ref:`Bone2D<class_Bone2D>`. Skeleton2D holds a reference to the rest pose of its children and acts as a single point of access to its bones.

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

.. _class_Skeleton2D_method_get_bone:

- :ref:`Bone2D<class_Bone2D>` **get_bone** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` idx **)**

Returns a :ref:`Bone2D<class_Bone2D>` from the node hierarchy parented by Skeleton2D. The object to return is identified by the parameter ``idx``. Bones are indexed by descending the node hierarchy from top to bottom, adding the children of each branch before moving to the next sibling.

----

.. _class_Skeleton2D_method_get_bone_count:

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

Returns the number of :ref:`Bone2D<class_Bone2D>` nodes in the node hierarchy parented by Skeleton2D.

----

.. _class_Skeleton2D_method_get_skeleton:

- :ref:`RID<class_RID>` **get_skeleton** **(** **)** |const|

Returns the :ref:`RID<class_RID>` of a Skeleton2D instance.
