	</brief_description>
	<description>
		A custom shader program implemented in the Godot shading language, saved with the [code].gdshader[/code] extension.
		This class is used by a [ShaderMaterial] and allows you to write your own custom behavior for rendering visual items or updating particle information. For a detailed explanation and usage, please see the tutorials linked below.

		<method name="get_default_texture_parameter" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Texture" />
			<param index="0" name="name" type="StringName" />
			<param index="1" name="index" type="int" default="0" />
			<description>
				Returns the texture that is set as default for the specified parameter.
				[b]Note:[/b] [param name] must match the name of the uniform in the code exactly.
				[b]Note:[/b] If the sampler array is used use [param index] to access the specified texture.

		<method name="get_mode" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" enum="Shader.Mode" />
			<description>
				Returns the shader mode for the shader.

		</method>
		<method name="get_shader_uniform_list">
			<return type="Array" />
			<param index="0" name="get_groups" type="bool" default="false" />
			<description>
				Returns the list of shader uniforms that can be assigned to a [ShaderMaterial], for use with [method ShaderMaterial.set_shader_parameter] and [method ShaderMaterial.get_shader_parameter]. The parameters returned are contained in dictionaries in a similar format to the ones returned by [method Object.get_property_list].
				If argument [param get_groups] is [code]true[/code], parameter grouping hints are also included in the list.

		<method name="inspect_native_shader_code">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Only available when running in the editor. Opens a popup that visualizes the generated shader code, including all variants and internal shader code. See also [method Material.inspect_native_shader_code].

			<param index="0" name="name" type="StringName" />
			<param index="1" name="texture" type="Texture" />
			<param index="2" name="index" type="int" default="0" />
			<description>
				Sets the default texture to be used with a texture uniform. The default is used if a texture is not set in the [ShaderMaterial].
				[b]Note:[/b] [param name] must match the name of the uniform in the code exactly.
				[b]Note:[/b] If the sampler array is used use [param index] to access the specified texture.
