# clipShape(_:style:) Sets a clipping shape for this view. ``` nonisolated func clipShape(_ shape: S, style: FillStyle = FillStyle()) -> some View where S : Shape ``` ## Parameters `shape` The clipping shape to use for this view. The `shape` fills the view’s frame, while maintaining its aspect ratio. `style` The fill style to use when rasterizing `shape`. ## Return Value A view that clips this view to `shape`, using `style` to define the shape’s rasterization. ## Discussion Use `clipShape(_:style:)` to clip the view to the provided shape. By applying a clipping shape to a view, you preserve the parts of the view covered by the shape, while eliminating other parts of the view. The clipping shape itself isn’t visible. For example, this code applies a circular clipping shape to a `Text` view: ``` Text("Clipped text in a circle") .frame(width: 175, height: 100) .foregroundColor(Color.white) .background(Color.black) .clipShape(Circle()) ``` The resulting view shows only the portion of the text that lies within the bounds of the circle.  --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
