# frame(depth:alignment:)

Positions this view within an invisible frame with the specified depth.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func frame(depth: CGFloat?, alignment: DepthAlignment = .center) -> some View

```

## Parameters

- `depth`: A fixed depth for the resulting view. If depth is nil, the resulting view assumes this view’s sizing behavior.
- `alignment`: The alignment of this view inside the resulting view. alignment applies if this view is smaller than the size given by the resulting frame.

## Return Value

Return Value A view with a fixed dimension of depth if non-nil.

## Discussion

Discussion Use this method to specify a fixed size for a view’s depth. If you don’t specify a dimension, the resulting view assumes this view’s sizing behavior in depth.
