# cumulative

An effect that enables each layer of a symbol-based image in sequence.

```
var cumulative: VariableColorSymbolEffect { get }
```

## Discussion

This effect enables each successive variable layer, and the layer remains enabled until the end of the animation cycle. This effect cancels the [`iterative`](/documentation/Symbols/VariableColorSymbolEffect/iterative) variant.
