The default value is `1.0`. `y` An amount that represents the vertical amount to scale the view. The default value is `1.0`. `anchor` The anchor point that indicates the starting position for the scale operation. ## Discussion Use `scaleEffect(x:y:anchor:)` to apply a scaling transform to a view by a specific horizontal and vertical amount. ``` Image(systemName: "envelope.badge.fill") .resizable() .frame(width: 100, height: 100, alignment: .center) .foregroundColor(Color.red) .scaleEffect(x: 0.5, y: 0.5, anchor: .bottomTrailing) .border(Color.gray) ```  --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
