# shape

The type of the shape.

## Declaration

```swift
var shape: ShapeMarkup.Shape { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The coordinate values of the shape type are relative to the unit coordinate space. For example a corner radius of 0.1 is equivalent to a radius of 10% of the minimum dimension of the shape. Use shapeScaled for a shape type with scaled values relative to the shape’s frame.
