# forwards

An option that freezes the last frame of the animation until it stops.

## Declaration

```swift
static let forwards: AnimationFillMode
```

## Discussion

Discussion For example, if you increase a hand-waving animation’s duration one second by setting trimEnd to duration + 1.0, a fillMode of forwards determines that the hand waves and then freezes on its final animation frame for one second before disappearing.
