# scaleEffect(x:y:z:anchor:)

Scales this view by the specified horizontal, vertical, and depth factors, relative to an anchor point.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func scaleEffect(x: CGFloat = 1.0, y: CGFloat = 1.0, z: CGFloat = 1.0, anchor: UnitPoint3D = .center) -> some View

```

## Parameters

- `x`: The horizontal scale factor for this view.
- `y`: The vertical scale factor for this view.
- `z`: The depth scale factor for this view.
- `anchor`: The anchor point about which to scale the view. Defaults to center.

## Return Value

Return Value A view that scales this view by x,y, and z.

## Discussion

Discussion The original dimensions of the view are considered to be unchanged by scaling the contents. To change the dimensions of the view, use a modifier like frame() instead.
