Description
-----------

Canvas Item layer. :ref:`CanvasItem<class_canvasitem>` nodes that are direct or indirect children of a :ref:`CanvasLayer<class_canvaslayer>` will be drawn in that layer. The layer is a numeric index that defines the draw order. The default 2D scene renders with index 0, so a :ref:`CanvasLayer<class_canvaslayer>` with index -1 will be drawn below, and one with index 1 will be drawn above. This is very useful for HUDs (in layer 1+ or above), or backgrounds (in layer -1 or below).
