# scaleEffect(x:y:anchor:)

Scales this view’s rendered output by the given horizontal and vertical amounts, relative to an anchor point.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func scaleEffect(x: CGFloat = 1.0, y: CGFloat = 1.0, anchor: UnitPoint = .center) -> some View

```

## Parameters

- `x`: An amount that represents the horizontal amount to scale the view. The default value is 1.0.
- `y`: An amount that represents the vertical amount to scale the view. The default value is 1.0.
- `anchor`: The anchor point that indicates the starting position for the scale operation.

## Discussion

Discussion Use scaleEffect(x:y:anchor:) to apply a scaling transform to a view by a specific horizontal and vertical amount. Image(systemName: "envelope.badge.fill")     .resizable()     .frame(width: 100, height: 100, alignment: .center)     .foregroundColor(Color.red)     .scaleEffect(x: 0.5, y: 0.5, anchor: .bottomTrailing)     .border(Color.gray)
