# overlap

The amount, as a fraction of image width, by which the images from the camera’s two viewpoints overlap.

```
var overlap: Float { get set }
```

## Discussion

Some stereoscopic rendering processes require shifting the location of each viewpoint’s rendered image in a framebuffer before display. Use this property to determine the distance to shift images by during rendering.
