Scales this view uniformly by the specified factor, relative to an anchor point.

## Declaration

```swift
func scaleEffect(_ s: CGFloat, anchor: UnitPoint3D = .center) -> some VisualEffect

```

## Parameters

- `s`: The scale factor for this view.
- `anchor`: The anchor point about which to scale the view. Defaults to center.

## Return Value

Return Value An effect that scales this view by s in all dimensions.

## 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.
