# visualEffect(_:) Applies effects to this view, while providing access to layout information through a geometry proxy. ``` nonisolated func visualEffect(_ effect: @escaping @Sendable (EmptyVisualEffect, GeometryProxy) -> some VisualEffect) -> some View ``` ## Parameters `effect` A closure that returns the effect to be applied. The first argument provided to the closure is a placeholder representing this view. The second argument is a `GeometryProxy`. ## Return Value A view with the effect applied. ## Discussion You return new effects by calling functions on the first argument provided to the `effect` closure. In this example, `ContentView` is offset by its own size, causing its top left corner to appear where the bottom right corner was originally located: ```swift ContentView() .visualEffect { content, geometryProxy in content.offset(geometryProxy.size) } ``` --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
