# rendersContinuously

A Boolean value that determines whether the view always renders at its preferred frame rate or only when its visible content changes.

## Declaration

```swift
var rendersContinuously: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion When this value is false (the default), the view redraws its contents only when something in its scene graph change or animates. Use this option to maximize energy efficiency. If you change this value to true, the view redraws itself continually, at the rate specified by the preferredFramesPerSecond property, regardless of whether content is changing or animating.
