# zoom(to:animated:)

Zooms to a specific area of the content so that it’s visible in the scroll view.

## Declaration

```swift
func zoom(to rect: CGRect, animated: Bool)
```

## Parameters

- `rect`: A rectangle defining an area of the content view. The rectangle should be in the coordinate space of the view returned by doc://com.apple.uikit/documentation/UIKit/UIScrollViewDelegate/viewForZooming(in:).
- `animated`: doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true if the scrolling should be animated, doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false if it should be immediate.

## Discussion

Discussion This method zooms so that the content view becomes the area defined by rect, adjusting the zoomScale as necessary.
