# RotateGesture

A gesture that recognizes a rotation motion and tracks the angle of the
rotation.

```
nonisolated struct RotateGesture
```

## Overview

A rotate gesture tracks how a rotation event sequence changes. To
recognize a rotate gesture on a view, create and configure the gesture,
and then add it to the view using the [`gesture(_:including:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/gesture(_:including:))
modifier.

Add a rotate gesture to a [`Rectangle`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Rectangle) and apply a rotation effect:

```
struct RotateGestureView: View {
    @State private var angle = Angle(degrees: 0.0)

    var rotation: some Gesture {
        RotateGesture()
            .onChanged { value in
                angle = value.rotation
            }
    }

    var body: some View {
        Rectangle()
            .frame(width: 200, height: 200, alignment: .center)
            .rotationEffect(angle)
            .gesture(rotation)
    }
}
```

## Topics

### Creating the gesture

[`init(minimumAngleDelta:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/RotateGesture/init(minimumAngleDelta:))

Creates a rotation gesture with a minimum delta for the gesture to
start.

[`init(minimumAngleDelta:inputKinds:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/RotateGesture/init(minimumAngleDelta:inputKinds:))

Creates a rotation gesture with a minimum delta for the gesture to
start, and the input kinds the gesture recognizes.

[`minimumAngleDelta`](/documentation/SwiftUI/RotateGesture/minimumAngleDelta)

The minimum delta required before the gesture succeeds.
