**Inherited By:** :ref:`VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D<class_VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D>`

A rectangular region of 2D space that detects whether it is visible on screen.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

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

:ref:`VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D<class_VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D>` represents a rectangular region of 2D space. When any part of this region becomes visible on screen or in a viewport, it will emit a :ref:`screen_entered<class_VisibleOnScreenNotifier2D_signal_screen_entered>` signal, and likewise it will emit a :ref:`screen_exited<class_VisibleOnScreenNotifier2D_signal_screen_exited>` signal when no part of it remains visible.

If you want a node to be enabled automatically when this region is visible on screen, use :ref:`VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D<class_VisibleOnScreenEnabler2D>`.

\ **Note:** **VisibleOnScreenNotifier2D** uses the render culling code to determine whether it's visible on screen, so it won't function unless :ref:`CanvasItem.visible<class_CanvasItem_property_visible>` is set to ``true``.

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

.. _class_VisibleOnScreenNotifier2D_method_is_on_screen:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_on_screen** **(** **)** |const|

If ``true``, the bounding rectangle is on the screen.

\ **Note:** It takes one frame for the **VisibleOnScreenNotifier2D**'s visibility to be determined once added to the scene tree, so this method will always return ``false`` right after it is instantiated, before the draw pass.
