# isFlipped

A Boolean value that indicates the graphics context’s flipped state.

```
var isFlipped: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

The state is determined by sending `flipped` to the receiver’s view that has focus. If no view has focus, returns <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false> unless the receiver is instantiated using [`init(cgContext:flipped:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSGraphicsContext/init(cgContext:flipped:)-9cbad) specifying <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> as the `flipped` parameter.
