	</brief_description>
	<description>
		Plugins are used by the editor to extend functionality. The most common types of plugins are those which edit a given node or resource type, import plugins and export plugins. See also [EditorScript] to add functions to the editor.
		[b]Note:[/b] Some names in this class contain "left" or "right" (e.g. [constant DOCK_SLOT_LEFT_UL]). These APIs assume left-to-right layout, and would be backwards when using right-to-left layout. These names are kept for compatibility reasons.

	<methods>
		<method name="_apply_changes" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				This method is called when the editor is about to save the project, switch to another tab, etc. It asks the plugin to apply any pending state changes to ensure consistency.
				This is used, for example, in shader editors to let the plugin know that it must apply the shader code being written by the user to the object.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_build" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="bool" />
			<description>
				This method is called when the editor is about to run the project. The plugin can then perform required operations before the project runs.
				This method must return a boolean. If this method returns [code]false[/code], the project will not run. The run is aborted immediately, so this also prevents all other plugins' [method _build] methods from running.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_clear" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Clear all the state and reset the object being edited to zero. This ensures your plugin does not keep editing a currently existing node, or a node from the wrong scene.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_disable_plugin" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Called by the engine when the user disables the [EditorPlugin] in the Plugin tab of the project settings window.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_edit" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="object" type="Object" />
			<description>
				This function is used for plugins that edit specific object types (nodes or resources). It requests the editor to edit the given object.
				[param object] can be [code]null[/code] if the plugin was editing an object, but there is no longer any selected object handled by this plugin. It can be used to cleanup editing state.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_enable_plugin" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Called by the engine when the user enables the [EditorPlugin] in the Plugin tab of the project settings window.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_forward_3d_draw_over_viewport" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="viewport_control" type="Control" />
			<description>
				Called by the engine when the 3D editor's viewport is updated. Use the [code]overlay[/code] [Control] for drawing. You can update the viewport manually by calling [method update_overlays].
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				func _forward_3d_draw_over_viewport(overlay):

			<description>
				This is for editors that edit script-based objects. You can return a list of breakpoints in the format ([code]script:line[/code]), for example: [code]res://path_to_script.gd:25[/code].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_get_plugin_icon" qualifiers="virtual const">
			<return type="Texture2D" />
			<description>
				Override this method in your plugin to return a [Texture2D] in order to give it an icon.
				For main screen plugins, this appears at the top of the screen, to the right of the "2D", "3D", "Script", and "AssetLib" buttons.
				Ideally, the plugin icon should be white with a transparent background and 16×16 pixels in size.
				[codeblocks]

		</method>
		<method name="_get_plugin_name" qualifiers="virtual const">
			<return type="String" />
			<description>
				Override this method in your plugin to provide the name of the plugin when displayed in the Godot editor.
				For main screen plugins, this appears at the top of the screen, to the right of the "2D", "3D", "Script", and "AssetLib" buttons.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_get_state" qualifiers="virtual const">
			<return type="Dictionary" />
			<description>
				Override this method to provide a state data you want to be saved, like view position, grid settings, folding, etc. This is used when saving the scene (so state is kept when opening it again) and for switching tabs (so state can be restored when the tab returns). This data is automatically saved for each scene in an [code]editstate[/code] file in the editor metadata folder. If you want to store global (scene-independent) editor data for your plugin, you can use [method _get_window_layout] instead.
				Use [method _set_state] to restore your saved state.
				[b]Note:[/b] This method should not be used to save important settings that should persist with the project.
				[b]Note:[/b] You must implement [method _get_plugin_name] for the state to be stored and restored correctly.
				[codeblock]
				func _get_state():
				    var state = {"zoom": zoom, "preferred_color": my_color}
				    return state

			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_get_unsaved_status" qualifiers="virtual const">
			<return type="String" />
			<param index="0" name="for_scene" type="String" />
			<description>
				Override this method to provide a custom message that lists unsaved changes. The editor will call this method when exiting or when closing a scene, and display the returned string in a confirmation dialog. Return empty string if the plugin has no unsaved changes.
				When closing a scene, [param for_scene] is the path to the scene being closed. You can use it to handle built-in resources in that scene.
				If the user confirms saving, [method _save_external_data] will be called, before closing the editor.
				[codeblock]
				func _get_unsaved_status(for_scene):
				    if not unsaved:
				        return ""

				    if for_scene.is_empty():

				        return "Scene %s has changes from MyCustomPlugin. Save before closing?" % for_scene.get_file()

				func _save_external_data():
				    unsaved = false
				[/codeblock]
				If the plugin has no scene-specific changes, you can ignore the calls when closing scenes:
				[codeblock]
				func _get_unsaved_status(for_scene):
				    if not for_scene.is_empty():
				        return ""
				[/codeblock]
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_get_window_layout" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="configuration" type="ConfigFile" />
			<description>
				Override this method to provide the GUI layout of the plugin or any other data you want to be stored. This is used to save the project's editor layout when [method queue_save_layout] is called or the editor layout was changed (for example changing the position of a dock). The data is stored in the [code]editor_layout.cfg[/code] file in the editor metadata directory.
				Use [method _set_window_layout] to restore your saved layout.
				[codeblock]
				func _get_window_layout(configuration):
				    configuration.set_value("MyPlugin", "window_position", $Window.position)
				    configuration.set_value("MyPlugin", "icon_color", $Icon.modulate)
				[/codeblock]
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_handles" qualifiers="virtual const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<param index="0" name="object" type="Object" />
			<description>
				Implement this function if your plugin edits a specific type of object (Resource or Node). If you return [code]true[/code], then you will get the functions [method _edit] and [method _make_visible] called when the editor requests them. If you have declared the methods [method _forward_canvas_gui_input] and [method _forward_3d_gui_input] these will be called too.
				[b]Note:[/b] Each plugin should handle only one type of objects at a time. If a plugin handles more types of objects and they are edited at the same time, it will result in errors.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_has_main_screen" qualifiers="virtual const">
			<return type="bool" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if this is a main screen editor plugin (it goes in the workspace selector together with [b]2D[/b], [b]3D[/b], [b]Script[/b] and [b]AssetLib[/b]).
				When the plugin's workspace is selected, other main screen plugins will be hidden, but your plugin will not appear automatically. It needs to be added as a child of [method EditorInterface.get_editor_main_screen] and made visible inside [method _make_visible].
				Use [method _get_plugin_name] and [method _get_plugin_icon] to customize the plugin button's appearance.
				[codeblock]
				var plugin_control

				func _enter_tree():
				    plugin_control = preload("my_plugin_control.tscn").instantiate()
				    EditorInterface.get_editor_main_screen().add_child(plugin_control)

			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_make_visible" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="visible" type="bool" />
			<description>
				This function will be called when the editor is requested to become visible. It is used for plugins that edit a specific object type.
				Remember that you have to manage the visibility of all your editor controls manually.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_save_external_data" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				This method is called after the editor saves the project or when it's closed. It asks the plugin to save edited external scenes/resources.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_set_state" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="state" type="Dictionary" />
			<description>
				Restore the state saved by [method _get_state]. This method is called when the current scene tab is changed in the editor.
				[b]Note:[/b] Your plugin must implement [method _get_plugin_name], otherwise it will not be recognized and this method will not be called.
				[codeblock]
				func _set_state(data):
				    zoom = data.get("zoom", 1.0)
				    preferred_color = data.get("my_color", Color.WHITE)
				[/codeblock]
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="_set_window_layout" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="configuration" type="ConfigFile" />
			<description>
				Restore the plugin GUI layout and data saved by [method _get_window_layout]. This method is called for every plugin on editor startup. Use the provided [param configuration] file to read your saved data.
				[codeblock]
				func _set_window_layout(configuration):
				    $Window.position = configuration.get_value("MyPlugin", "window_position", Vector2())
				    $Icon.modulate = configuration.get_value("MyPlugin", "icon_color", Color.WHITE)

			<param index="0" name="control" type="Control" />
			<param index="1" name="title" type="String" />
			<param index="2" name="shortcut" type="Shortcut" default="null" />
			<description>
				Adds a control to the bottom panel (together with Output, Debug, Animation, etc). Returns a reference to the button added. It's up to you to hide/show the button when needed. When your plugin is deactivated, make sure to remove your custom control with [method remove_control_from_bottom_panel] and free it with [method Node.queue_free].
				Optionally, you can specify a shortcut parameter. When pressed, this shortcut will toggle the bottom panel's visibility. See the default editor bottom panel shortcuts in the Editor Settings for inspiration. Per convention, they all use [kbd]Alt[/kbd] modifier.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="add_control_to_container">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="container" type="int" enum="EditorPlugin.CustomControlContainer" />
			<param index="1" name="control" type="Control" />
			<description>
				Adds a custom control to a container (see [enum CustomControlContainer]). There are many locations where custom controls can be added in the editor UI.
				Please remember that you have to manage the visibility of your custom controls yourself (and likely hide it after adding it).
				When your plugin is deactivated, make sure to remove your custom control with [method remove_control_from_container] and free it with [method Node.queue_free].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="add_control_to_dock">
			<return type="void" />

			<param index="1" name="control" type="Control" />
			<param index="2" name="shortcut" type="Shortcut" default="null" />
			<description>
				Adds the control to a specific dock slot (see [enum DockSlot] for options).
				If the dock is repositioned and as long as the plugin is active, the editor will save the dock position on further sessions.
				When your plugin is deactivated, make sure to remove your custom control with [method remove_control_from_docks] and free it with [method Node.queue_free].
				Optionally, you can specify a shortcut parameter. When pressed, this shortcut will toggle the dock's visibility once it's moved to the bottom panel (this shortcut does not affect the dock otherwise). See the default editor bottom panel shortcuts in the Editor Settings for inspiration. Per convention, they all use [kbd]Alt[/kbd] modifier.

			<param index="1" name="base" type="String" />
			<param index="2" name="script" type="Script" />
			<param index="3" name="icon" type="Texture2D" />
			<description>
				Adds a custom type, which will appear in the list of nodes or resources. An icon can be optionally passed.
				When a given node or resource is selected, the base type will be instantiated (e.g. "Node3D", "Control", "Resource"), then the script will be loaded and set to this object.
				[b]Note:[/b] The base type is the base engine class which this type's class hierarchy inherits, not any custom type parent classes.
				You can use the virtual method [method _handles] to check if your custom object is being edited by checking the script or using the [code]is[/code] keyword.
				During run-time, this will be a simple object with a script so this function does not need to be called then.
				[b]Note:[/b] Custom types added this way are not true classes. They are just a helper to create a node with specific script.
