# compositingGroup() Wraps this view in a compositing group. ``` nonisolated func compositingGroup() -> some View ``` ## Return Value A view that wraps this view in a compositing group. ## Discussion A compositing group makes compositing effects in this view’s ancestor views, such as opacity and the blend mode, take effect before this view is rendered. Use `compositingGroup()` to apply effects to a parent view before applying effects to this view. In the example below the `compositingGroup()` modifier separates the application of effects into stages. It applies the [`opacity(_:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/opacity(_:)) effect to the VStack before the `blur(radius:)` effect is applied to the views inside the enclosed [`ZStack`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ZStack). This limits the scope of the opacity change to the outermost view. ``` VStack { ZStack { Text("CompositingGroup") .foregroundColor(.black) .padding(20) .background(Color.red) Text("CompositingGroup") .blur(radius: 2) } .font(.largeTitle) .compositingGroup() .opacity(0.9) } ```  --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
