# sublayerTransform

Specifies the transform to apply to sublayers when rendering. Animatable.

```
var sublayerTransform: CATransform3D { get set }
```

## Discussion

You typically use this property to add perspective and other viewing effects to embedded layers. You add perspective by setting the sublayer transform to the desired projection matrix. The default value of this property is the identity transform.
