# transformEffect(_:)

Applies an affine transformation to this view’s rendered output.

```
nonisolated func transformEffect(_ transform: CGAffineTransform) -> some View
```

## Parameters

`transform`

A
<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/CoreFoundation/CGAffineTransform> to
apply to the view.

## Discussion

Use `transformEffect(_:)` to rotate, scale, translate, or skew the
output of the view according to the provided
<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/CoreFoundation/CGAffineTransform>.

In the example below, the text is rotated at -30˚ on the `y` axis.

```
let transform = CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: -30 * (.pi / 180))

Text("Projection effect using transforms")
    .transformEffect(transform)
    .border(Color.gray)
```
