EditorInterface
===============

**Inherits:** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Godot editor's interface.

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

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

**EditorInterface** gives you control over Godot editor's window. It allows customizing the window, saving and (re-)loading scenes, rendering mesh previews, inspecting and editing resources and objects, and provides access to :ref:`EditorSettings<class_EditorSettings>`, :ref:`EditorFileSystem<class_EditorFileSystem>`, :ref:`EditorResourcePreview<class_EditorResourcePreview>`, :ref:`ScriptEditor<class_ScriptEditor>`, the editor viewport, and information about scenes.

\ **Note:** This class shouldn't be instantiated directly. Instead, access the singleton using :ref:`EditorPlugin.get_editor_interface<class_EditorPlugin_method_get_editor_interface>`.
