## Discussion

Discussion A compositing group makes compositing effects in this view’s ancestor views, such as opacity and the blend mode, take effect before this view is rendered. Use compositingGroup() to apply effects to a parent view before applying effects to this view. In the example below the compositingGroup() modifier separates the application of effects into stages. It applies the opacity(_:) effect to the VStack before the blur(radius:) effect is applied to the views inside the enclosed ZStack. This limits the scope of the opacity change to the outermost view. VStack {     ZStack {         Text("CompositingGroup")             .foregroundColor(.black)             .padding(20)             .background(Color.red)         Text("CompositingGroup")             .blur(radius: 2)     }     .font(.largeTitle)     .compositingGroup()     .opacity(0.9) }
