# fixedSize(horizontal:vertical:) Fixes this view at its ideal size in the specified dimensions. ``` nonisolated func fixedSize(horizontal: Bool, vertical: Bool) -> some View ``` ## Parameters `horizontal` A Boolean value that indicates whether to fix the width of the view. `vertical` A Boolean value that indicates whether to fix the height of the view. ## Return Value A view that fixes this view at its ideal size in the dimensions specified by `horizontal` and `vertical`. ## Discussion This function behaves like [`fixedSize()`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/fixedSize()), except with `fixedSize(horizontal:vertical:)` the fixing of the axes can be optionally specified in one or both dimensions. For example, if you horizontally fix a text view before wrapping it in the frame view, you’re telling the text view to maintain its ideal *width*. The view calculates this to be the space needed to represent the entire string. ``` Text("A single line of text, too long to fit in a box.") .fixedSize(horizontal: true, vertical: false) .frame(width: 200, height: 200) .border(Color.gray) ``` This can result in the view exceeding the parent’s bounds, which may or may not be the effect you want.  --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
