# minimumAspectRatio

The smallest aspect ratio the rectangle request detects.

## Declaration

```swift
var minimumAspectRatio: Float
```

## Discussion

Discussion The property’s value defaults to 0.5, but you can set it to any value in the range [0.0, 1.0]. You can use this value to choose specific rectangles in the detection like filtering out narrow rectangles by excluding small aspect ratios, or setting a range of 0.95 to 1.0 to select mostly squares.
