Description

Gets the visible state of an object, meaning if it's shown and all it's parents are shown aswell.

If a frame calls Hide(), then all of it's children are hidden. In this case, its children are "shown" (if they were prior to the Hide() call), but not "visible".

The default UI uses this in a couple of places to tell whether or not the entire UI has been hidden for screenshot purposes (visible is false while shown is true)
