Backdrop

Snapshots the rendered backdrop (everything drawn so far on the canvas) and exposes it as a drawable, so subsequent layers can blend with the existing composition.

Library location

Library → Backdrop

Properties

Clear Buffer (Clear)

When true, clears the captured backdrop after sampling so subsequent draw calls start from a transparent canvas.

  • Type: bool
  • Default: false
  • Animatable: Yes

Common properties

This object inherits from Drawable and exposes the common properties declared on its base classes.

Usage

Place the backdrop above the elements you want to capture, then apply filter effects (such as Blur) to it to create frosted-glass or glass-pane looks.
