EditorInterface¶

Inherits: Node < Object

Godot editor’s interface.

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 EditorSettings, EditorFileSystem, EditorResourcePreview, ScriptEditor, the editor viewport, and information about scenes.

Note: This class shouldn’t be instantiated directly. Instead, access the singleton using EditorPlugin.get_editor_interface.
