	<brief_description>
		Base class for nodes in a visual shader graph.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		Visual shader graphs consist of various nodes. Each node in the graph is a separate object and they are represented as a rectangular boxes with title and a set of properties. Each node has also connection ports that allow to connect it to another nodes and control the flow of the shader.

	<methods>
		<method name="get_default_input_values" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Array" />
			<description>
				Returns an [Array] containing default values for all of the input ports of the node in the form [code][index0, value0, index1, value1, ...][/code].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_input_port_default_value" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Variant" />
			<argument index="0" name="port" type="int" />
			<description>
				Returns the default value of the input [code]port[/code].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="set_default_input_values">
			<return type="void" />
			<argument index="0" name="values" type="Array" />
			<description>
				Sets the default input ports values using an [Array] of the form [code][index0, value0, index1, value1, ...][/code]. For example: [code][0, Vector3(0, 0, 0), 1, Vector3(0, 0, 0)][/code].

	<signals>
		<signal name="editor_refresh_request">
			<description>
				Emitted when the node requests an editor refresh. Currently called only in setter of [member VisualShaderNodeTexture.source], [VisualShaderNodeTexture], and [VisualShaderNodeCubeMap] (and their derivatives).
