# rotation(_:anchor:)

Rotates this shape around an anchor point at the angle you specify.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func rotation(_ angle: Angle, anchor: UnitPoint = .center) -> RotatedShape<Self>
```

## Parameters

- `angle`: The angle of rotation to apply. Positive angles rotate clockwise; negative angles rotate counterclockwise.
- `anchor`: The point to rotate the shape around.

## Return Value

Return Value A rotated shape.

## Discussion

Discussion The following example rotates a square by 45 degrees to the right to create a diamond shape: RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10) .rotation(Angle(degrees: 45)) .aspectRatio(1.0, contentMode: .fit)
