# Plane

The Plane class. Planes are special sprites that tile bitmap patterns across the entire screen, and are used to display panoramas and fog.

## Superclass

* [Object](/rgss-reference-manual/standard-library/built-in-classes/object.md)

## Class Method

### Plane.new(\[viewport])

Creates a Plane object. Specifies a Viewport ([Viewport](/rgss-reference-manual/game-library/rgss-built-in-classes/viewport.md)) when necessary.

## Methods

### dispose

Frees the plane. If the plane has already been freed, does nothing.

### disposed?

Returns TRUE if the plane has been freed.

### viewport

Retrieves the Viewport ([Viewport](/rgss-reference-manual/game-library/rgss-built-in-classes/viewport.md)) specified when the plane was created.

## Properties

### bitmap

Refers to the bitmap ([Bitmap](/rgss-reference-manual/game-library/rgss-built-in-classes/bitmap.md)) used in the plane.

### visible

Whether the plane can be seen. If TRUE, the plane is visible.

### z

The plane's Z-coordinate. The larger this value, the closer to the player the plane will be displayed. If multiple objects share the same Z-coordinate, the more recently created object will be displayed closest to the player.

### ox

The X-coordinate of the plane's starting point. Change this value to scroll the plane.

### oy

The Y-coordinate of the plane's starting point. Change this value to scroll the plane.

### zoom\_x

The plane's X-axis zoom level. 1.0 denotes actual pixel size.

### zoom\_y

The plane's Y-axis zoom level. 1.0 denotes actual pixel size.

### opacity

The plane's opacity (0-255). Values out of range are automatically corrected.

### blend\_type

The plane's blending mode (0: normal, 1: addition, 2: subtraction).

### color

The color ([Color](/rgss-reference-manual/game-library/rgss-built-in-classes/color.md)) to be blended with the plane. Alpha values are used in the blending ratio.

### tone

The plane's color tone ([Tone](/rgss-reference-manual/game-library/rgss-built-in-classes/tone.md)).
