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

.. _class_CharFXTransform_property_color:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`Color<class_Color>` **color** = ``Color(0, 0, 0, 1)``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_color** **(** :ref:`Color<class_Color>` value **)**
- :ref:`Color<class_Color>` **get_color** **(** **)**

The color the character will be drawn with.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CharFXTransform_property_elapsed_time:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`float<class_float>` **elapsed_time** = ``0.0``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_elapsed_time** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` value **)**
- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_elapsed_time** **(** **)**

The time elapsed since the :ref:`RichTextLabel<class_RichTextLabel>` was added to the scene tree (in seconds). Time stops when the :ref:`RichTextLabel<class_RichTextLabel>` is paused (see :ref:`Node.process_mode<class_Node_property_process_mode>`). Resets when the text in the :ref:`RichTextLabel<class_RichTextLabel>` is changed.

\ **Note:** Time still passes while the :ref:`RichTextLabel<class_RichTextLabel>` is hidden.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CharFXTransform_property_env:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`Dictionary<class_Dictionary>` **env** = ``{}``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_environment** **(** :ref:`Dictionary<class_Dictionary>` value **)**
- :ref:`Dictionary<class_Dictionary>` **get_environment** **(** **)**

Contains the arguments passed in the opening BBCode tag. By default, arguments are strings; if their contents match a type such as :ref:`bool<class_bool>`, :ref:`int<class_int>` or :ref:`float<class_float>`, they will be converted automatically. Color codes in the form ``#rrggbb`` or ``#rgb`` will be converted to an opaque :ref:`Color<class_Color>`. String arguments may not contain spaces, even if they're quoted. If present, quotes will also be present in the final string.

For example, the opening BBCode tag ``[example foo=hello bar=true baz=42 color=#ffffff]`` will map to the following :ref:`Dictionary<class_Dictionary>`:

::

    {"foo": "hello", "bar": true, "baz": 42, "color": Color(1, 1, 1, 1)}

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

----

.. _class_CharFXTransform_property_glyph_count:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`int<class_int>` **glyph_count** = ``0``

- void **set_glyph_count** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` value **)**
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_glyph_count** **(** **)**

Number of glyphs in the grapheme cluster. This value is set in the first glyph of a cluster. Setting this property won't affect drawing.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

- void **set_glyph_flags** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` value **)**
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_glyph_flags** **(** **)**

Glyph flags. See :ref:`GraphemeFlag<enum_TextServer_GraphemeFlag>` for more info. Setting this property won't affect drawing.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CharFXTransform_property_glyph_index:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`int<class_int>` **glyph_index** = ``0``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_glyph_index** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` value **)**
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_glyph_index** **(** **)**

Font specific glyph index.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CharFXTransform_property_offset:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` **offset** = ``Vector2(0, 0)``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_offset** **(** :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` value **)**
- :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` **get_offset** **(** **)**

The position offset the character will be drawn with (in pixels).

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CharFXTransform_property_outline:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **outline** = ``false``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_outline** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` value **)**
- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_outline** **(** **)**

If ``true``, FX transform is called for outline drawing. Setting this property won't affect drawing.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CharFXTransform_property_range:

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CharFXTransform_property_transform:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`Transform2D<class_Transform2D>` **transform** = ``Transform2D(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0)``

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- void **set_transform** **(** :ref:`Transform2D<class_Transform2D>` value **)**
- :ref:`Transform2D<class_Transform2D>` **get_transform** **(** **)**

The current transform of the current glyph. It can be overridden (for example, by driving the position and rotation from a curve). You can also alter the existing value to apply transforms on top of other effects.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_CharFXTransform_property_visible:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **visible** = ``true``

- void **set_visibility** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` value **)**
- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_visible** **(** **)**

If ``true``, the character will be drawn. If ``false``, the character will be hidden. Characters around hidden characters will reflow to take the space of hidden characters. If this is not desired, set their :ref:`color<class_CharFXTransform_property_color>` to ``Color(1, 1, 1, 0)`` instead.
