# init(size:label:opaque:colorMode:renderer:)

Initializes an image of the given size, with contents provided by a custom rendering closure.

## Declaration

```swift
init(size: CGSize, label: Text? = nil, opaque: Bool = false, colorMode: ColorRenderingMode = .nonLinear, renderer: @escaping (inout GraphicsContext) -> Void)
```

## Parameters

- `size`: The size of the newly-created image.
- `label`: The label associated with the image. SwiftUI uses the label for accessibility.
- `opaque`: A Boolean value that indicates whether the image is fully opaque. This may improve performance when true. Don’t render non-opaque pixels to an image declared as opaque. Defaults to false.
- `colorMode`: The working color space and storage format of the image. Defaults to doc://com.apple.SwiftUI/documentation/SwiftUI/ColorRenderingMode/nonLinear.
- `renderer`: A closure to draw the contents of the image. The closure receives a doc://com.apple.SwiftUI/documentation/SwiftUI/GraphicsContext as its parameter.

## Discussion

Discussion Use this initializer to create an image by calling drawing commands on a GraphicsContext provided to the renderer closure. The following example shows a custom image created by passing a GraphicContext to draw an ellipse and fill it with a gradient: let mySize = CGSize(width: 300, height: 200) let image = Image(size: mySize) { context in     context.fill(         Path(             ellipseIn: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: mySize)),             with: .linearGradient(                 Gradient(colors: [.yellow, .orange]),                 startPoint: .zero,                 endPoint: CGPoint(x: mySize.width, y:mySize.height))     ) }
