# rotation3DEffect(_:axis:anchor:anchorZ:perspective:)

Renders a view’s content as if it’s rotated in three dimensions around the specified axis.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func rotation3DEffect(_ angle: Angle, axis: (x: CGFloat, y: CGFloat, z: CGFloat), anchor: UnitPoint = .center, anchorZ: CGFloat = 0, perspective: CGFloat = 1) -> some View

```

## Parameters

- `angle`: The angle by which to rotate the view’s content.
- `axis`: The axis of rotation, specified as a tuple with named elements for each of the three spatial dimensions.
- `anchor`: A two dimensional unit point within the view about which to perform the rotation. The default value is doc://com.apple.SwiftUI/documentation/SwiftUI/UnitPoint/center.
- `anchorZ`: The location on the z-axis around which to rotate the content. The default is 0.
- `perspective`: The relative vanishing point for the rotation. The default is 1.

## Return Value

Return Value A view with rotated content.

## Discussion

Discussion Use this method to create the effect of rotating a view in three dimensions around a specified axis of rotation. The modifier projects the rotated content onto the original view’s plane. Use the perspective value to control the renderer’s vanishing point. The following example creates the appearance of rotating text 45˚ about the y-axis: Text("Rotation by passing an angle in degrees")     .rotation3DEffect(         .degrees(45),         axis: (x: 0.0, y: 1.0, z: 0.0),         anchor: .center,         anchorZ: 0,         perspective: 1)     .border(Color.gray)

important: In visionOS, create this effect with perspectiveRotationEffect(_:axis:anchor:anchorZ:perspective:) instead. To truly rotate a view in three dimensions, use a 3D rotation modifier without a perspective input like rotation3DEffect(_:axis:anchor:).
