# Visibility
The `visibility` rule may be used to make a widget invisible while still reserving spacing for it.
## Syntax
```
visibility: [visible|hidden];
```
### Values
| Value | Description |
|---------------------|----------------------------------------|
| `visible` (default) | The widget will be displayed as normal |
| `hidden` | The widget will be invisible |
## Example
Note that the second widget is hidden, while leaving a space where it would have been rendered.
=== "visibility.py"
```python
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/visibility.py"
```
=== "visibility.css"
```css
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/visibility.css"
```
=== "Output"
```{.textual path="docs/examples/styles/visibility.py"}
```
## CSS
```sass
/* Widget is on screen */
visibility: visible;
/* Widget is not on the screen */
visibility: hidden;
```
## Python
```python
# Widget is invisible
self.styles.visibility = "hidden"
# Widget is visible
self.styles.visibility = "visible"
```
There is also a shortcut to set a Widget's visibility. The `visible` property on `Widget` may be set to `True` or `False`.
```python
# Make a widget invisible
widget.visible = False
# Make the widget visible again
widget.visible = True
```
