# body

A rectangular view that’s filled with the shape style.

## Declaration

```swift
var body: _ShapeView<Rectangle, Self> { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion For a ShapeStyle that also conforms to the View protocol, like Color or LinearGradient, this default implementation of the body property provides a visual representation for the shape style. As a result, you can use the shape style in a view hierarchy like any other view: ZStack {     Color.cyan     Text("Hello!") } .frame(width: 200, height: 50)
