Constructors​
constructor​
public override new Curveprops: CurveProps: Curve
Parameters
OverwritesShape.constructorProperties​
absolutePosition​
readonly public absolutePosition: SimpleVector2SignalCurve
A helper signal for operating on the position in world space.
Retrieving the position using this signal returns the position in world space. Similarly, setting the position using this signal transforms the new value to local space.
If the new value is a function, the position of this node will be continuously updated to always match the position returned by the function. This can be useful to "pin" the node in a specific place or to make it follow another node's position.
Unlike position, this signal is not compound - it doesn't contain
separate signals for the x and y components.
Shape.absolutePositionabsoluteRotation​
readonly public absoluteRotation: SimpleSignalnumberCurve
A helper signal for operating on the rotation in world space.
Retrieving the rotation using this signal returns the rotation in world space. Similarly, setting the rotation using this signal transforms the new value to local space.
If the new value is a function, the rotation of this node will be continuously updated to always match the rotation returned by the function.
Inherited fromShape.absoluteRotationabsoluteScale​
readonly public absoluteScale: SimpleVector2SignalCurve
A helper signal for operating on the scale in world space.
Retrieving the scale using this signal returns the scale in world space. Similarly, setting the scale using this signal transforms the new value to local space.
If the new value is a function, the scale of this node will be continuously updated to always match the position returned by the function.
Unlike scale, this signal is not compound - it doesn't contain
separate signals for the x and y components.

When set, this shortcut property will modify the node's position so that the bottom edge ends up in the given place.
When retrieved, it will return the position of the bottom edge in the parent space.
Inherited fromShape.bottombottomLeft​

Inherited fromShape.bottomRightcache​
readonly public cache: SimpleSignalbooleanCurve
Shape.cachecachePadding​
readonly public cachePadding: SpacingSignalCurve
Controls the padding of the cached canvas used by this node.
By default, the size of the cache is determined based on the bounding box
of the node and its children. That includes effects such as stroke or
shadow. This property can be used to expand the cache area further.
Usually used to account for custom effects created by shaders.
Shape.cachePaddingchildren​
readonly public children: SignalComponentChildrenNode[]CurveSignalContextComponentChildrenNode[]Curve
Shape.childrenclip​
readonly public clip: SimpleSignalbooleanCurve

Shape.compositeOperationcreationStack​
readonly public creationStack?: string
Shape.creationStackdirection​
readonly public direction: SimpleSignalFlexDirectionCurve
Shape.directionelement​
public element: HTMLElement
Shape.elementend​
readonly public end: SimpleSignalnumberCurve
A percentage from the start after which the curve should be clipped.
The portion of the curve that comes after the given percentage will be made invisible.
This property is usefully for animating the curve appearing on the screen.
The value of 0 means the very start of the curve (accounting for the
startOffset) while 1 means the very end (accounting for the
endOffset).
endArrow​
readonly public endArrow: SimpleSignalbooleanCurve
Whether to display an arrow at the end of the visible curve.
Use arrowSize to control the size of the arrow.

This property lets you specify where along the defined curve the actual
visible portion ends. For example, setting it to 20 will make the last
20 pixels of the curve invisible.
This property is useful for trimming the curve using a fixed distance.
If you want to animate the curve appearing on the screen, use end
instead.

Shape.minHeightminWidth​
readonly public minWidth: SimpleSignalLengthLimitCurve
Shape.minWidthoffset​
readonly public offset: Vector2SignalCurveVector2SignalContextCurve
Represents the offset of this node's origin.
By default, the origin of a node is located at its center. The origin serves as the pivot point when rotating and scaling a node, but it doesn't affect the placement of its children.
The value is relative to the size of this node. A value of 1 means as far
to the right/bottom as possible. Here are a few examples of offsets:
[-1, -1]- top left corner[1, -1]- top right corner[0, 1]- bottom edge[-1, 1]- bottom left corner
Shape.offsetopacity​

readonly public shadowOffset: Vector2SignalCurveVector2SignalContextCurve
Shape.shadowOffsetshrink​
readonly public shrink: SimpleSignalnumberCurve
Shape.shrinksize​
readonly public size: Vector2LengthSignalCurve
Represents the size of this node.
A size is a two-dimensional vector, where x represents the width, and y
represents the height.
The value of both x and y is of type Length which is
either:
number- the desired length in pixels${number}%- a string with the desired length in percents, for example'50%'null- an automatic length
When retrieving the size, all units are converted to pixels, using the
current state of the layout. For example, retrieving the width set to
'50%', while the parent has a width of 200px will result in the number
100 being returned.
When the node is not part of the layout, setting its size using percents refers to the size of the entire scene.
Examples
Inherited fromShape.sizeskew​
readonly public skew: Vector2SignalCurveVector2SignalContextCurve
Represents the skew of this node in local space of its parent.
Examples
Inherited fromShape.skewstart​
readonly public start: SimpleSignalnumberCurve
A percentage from the start before which the curve should be clipped.
The portion of the curve that comes before the given percentage will be made invisible.
This property is usefully for animating the curve appearing on the screen.
The value of 0 means the very start of the curve (accounting for the
startOffset) while 1 means the very end (accounting for the
endOffset).
startArrow​
readonly public startArrow: SimpleSignalbooleanCurve
Whether to display an arrow at the start of the visible curve.
Use arrowSize to control the size of the arrow.
startOffset​
readonly public startOffset: SimpleSignalnumberCurve
The offset in pixels from the start of the curve.
This property lets you specify where along the defined curve the actual
visible portion starts. For example, setting it to 20 will make the first
20 pixels of the curve invisible.
This property is useful for trimming the curve using a fixed distance.
If you want to animate the curve appearing on the screen, use start
instead.

public restore(): void
public restoreduration: numbertiming?: TimingFunction: ThreadGenerator
Restore the node to its last saved state.
This method can be used together with the save method to restore a
node to a previously saved state. Restoring a node to a previous state
removes that state from the state stack.

node's current state and later restore it. It is possible to store more
than one state by calling save method multiple times.
Shape.savesnapshotClone​

Unlike clone, a snapshot clone calculates any reactive properties
at the moment of cloning and passes the raw values to the copy.
Parameters
