# Text.TruncationMode

The type of truncation to apply to a line of text when it’s too long to fit in the available space.

## Declaration

```swift
enum TruncationMode
```

## Overview

Overview When a text view contains more text than it’s able to display, the view might truncate the text and place an ellipsis (…) at the truncation point. Use the truncationMode(_:) modifier with one of the TruncationMode values to indicate which part of the text to truncate, either at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end.
