# GDScript: 2D nodes

Source: https://tweens.gd/gdscript/nodes/2d/

Helpers for `CanvasItem`, `Node2D`, and the 2D node classes.

Each row pairs a helper with the property path it tweens. Names ending in `_x`, `_y`, `_z`, or `_alpha` write one component.

## Units and constraints

-   Path helpers require a `PathFollow2D` under a `Path2D` with a nonempty curve. The node still controls looping and wrapping.
-   Set up sprite frames and animations before tweening a sprite’s `frame`.
