# clipShape(_:style:)

Sets a clipping shape for this view.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func clipShape<S>(_ shape: S, style: FillStyle = FillStyle()) -> some View where S : Shape

```

## Parameters

- `shape`: The clipping shape to use for this view. The shape fills the view’s frame, while maintaining its aspect ratio.
- `style`: The fill style to use when rasterizing shape.

## Return Value

Return Value A view that clips this view to shape, using style to define the shape’s rasterization.

## Discussion

Discussion Use clipShape(_:style:) to clip the view to the provided shape. By applying a clipping shape to a view, you preserve the parts of the view covered by the shape, while eliminating other parts of the view. The clipping shape itself isn’t visible. For example, this code applies a circular clipping shape to a Text view: Text("Clipped text in a circle")     .frame(width: 175, height: 100)     .foregroundColor(Color.white)     .background(Color.black)     .clipShape(Circle()) The resulting view shows only the portion of the text that lies within the bounds of the circle.
