# rotationEffect(_:anchor:)

Rotates a view’s rendered output in two dimensions around the specified point.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func rotationEffect(_ angle: Angle, anchor: UnitPoint = .center) -> some View

```

## Parameters

- `angle`: The angle by which to rotate the view.
- `anchor`: A unit point within the view about which to perform the rotation. The default value is doc://com.apple.SwiftUI/documentation/SwiftUI/UnitPoint/center.

## Return Value

Return Value A view with rotated content.

## Discussion

Discussion This modifier rotates the view’s content around the axis that points out of the xy-plane. It has no effect on the view’s frame. The following code rotates text by 22˚ and then draws a border around the modified view to show that the frame remains unchanged by the rotation modifier: Text("Rotation by passing an angle in degrees")     .rotationEffect(.degrees(22))     .border(Color.gray)
