# init(size:label:opaque:colorMode:renderer:) Initializes an image of the given size, with contents provided by a custom rendering closure. ``` init(size: CGSize, label: Text? = nil, opaque: Bool = false, colorMode: ColorRenderingMode = .nonLinear, renderer: @escaping (inout GraphicsContext) -> Void) ``` ## Parameters `size` The size of the newly-created image. `label` The label associated with the image. SwiftUI uses the label for accessibility. `opaque` A Boolean value that indicates whether the image is fully opaque. This may improve performance when `true`. Don’t render non-opaque pixels to an image declared as opaque. Defaults to `false`. `colorMode` The working color space and storage format of the image. Defaults to [`ColorRenderingMode.nonLinear`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ColorRenderingMode/nonLinear). `renderer` A closure to draw the contents of the image. The closure receives a [`GraphicsContext`](/documentation/SwiftUI/GraphicsContext) as its parameter. ## Discussion Use this initializer to create an image by calling drawing commands on a [`GraphicsContext`](/documentation/SwiftUI/GraphicsContext) provided to the `renderer` closure. The following example shows a custom image created by passing a `GraphicContext` to draw an ellipse and fill it with a gradient: ``` let mySize = CGSize(width: 300, height: 200) let image = Image(size: mySize) { context in context.fill( Path( ellipseIn: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: mySize)), with: .linearGradient( Gradient(colors: [.yellow, .orange]), startPoint: .zero, endPoint: CGPoint(x: mySize.width, y:mySize.height)) ) } ```  --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
