Signals
-------

.. _class_AnimationLibrary_signal_animation_added:

.. rst-class:: classref-signal

**animation_added**\ (\
name\: :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>`\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_AnimationLibrary_signal
_animation_added>`

Emitted when an :ref:`Animation<class_Animation>` is added, under the key ``name``.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----
.. _class_AnimationLibrary_signal_animation_changed:

.. rst-class:: classref-signal

**animation_changed**\ (\
name\: :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>`\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_AnimationLibrary_signal
_animation_changed>`

Emitted when there's a change in one of the animations, e.g. tracks are added,
moved or have changed paths. ``name`` is the key of the animation that was changed.

See also :ref:`Resource.changed<class_Resource_signal_changed>`, which this acts as

a relay for.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimationLibrary_signal_animation_removed:

.. rst-class:: classref-signal

**animation_removed**\ (\
name\: :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>`\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_AnimationLibrary_signal
_animation_removed>`

Emitted when an :ref:`Animation<class_Animation>` stored with the key ``name`` is

removed.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimationLibrary_signal_animation_renamed:

.. rst-class:: classref-signal

**animation_renamed**\ (\ name\: :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>`,

to_name\: :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>`\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_AnimationLibrary_sig
nal_animation_renamed>`

Emitted when the key for an :ref:`Animation<class_Animation>` is changed, from

``name`` to ``to_name``.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_AnimationLibrary_method_add_animation:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` **add_animation**\ (\
name\: :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>`,
animation\: :ref:`Animation<class_Animation>`\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_AnimationLibrary_met
hod_add_animation>`

Adds the ``animation`` to the library, accessible by the key ``name``.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimationLibrary_method_get_animation:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Animation<class_Animation>` **get_animation**\ (\
name\: :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>`\ ) |
const| :ref:`🔗<class_AnimationLibrary_method_get_animation>`

Returns the :ref:`Animation<class_Animation>` with the key ``name``. If the

animation does not exist, ``null`` is returned and an error is logged.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimationLibrary_method_get_animation_list:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Array<class_Array>`\[:ref:`StringName<class_StringName>`\]
**get_animation_list**\ (\ ) |
const| :ref:`🔗<class_AnimationLibrary_method_get_animation_list>`

Returns the keys for the :ref:`Animation<class_Animation>`\ s stored in the

library.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimationLibrary_method_has_animation:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **has_animation**\ (\
name\: :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>`\ ) |
const| :ref:`🔗<class_AnimationLibrary_method_has_animation>`

Returns ``true`` if the library stores an :ref:`Animation<class_Animation>` with

``name`` as the key.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimationLibrary_method_remove_animation:

.. rst-class:: classref-method
|void| **remove_animation**\ (\
name\: :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>`\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_AnimationLibrary_method
_remove_animation>`

Removes the :ref:`Animation<class_Animation>` with the key ``name``.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AnimationLibrary_method_rename_animation:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

|void| **rename_animation**\ (\ name\: :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>`,

newname\: :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>`\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_AnimationLibrary_met
hod_rename_animation>`

Changes the key of the :ref:`Animation<class_Animation>` associated with the key

``name`` to ``newname``.
