.baselineOffset()

The .baselineOffset() modifier method moves text in a view vertically, relative to its baseline. The bounds of the text’s parent view expands to contain the modified text.

Syntax

Text("This text is shifted vertically.")
    .baselineOffset(amount)

• .baselineOffset() specifies how many points the text is shifted up or down.
• The amount of offset is given in points as an integer. This parameter is required and can be positive, negative, or zero.

Example

var body: some View {
    VStack {
        Text("I have no vertical shift.")
            .border(Color.red)

        Text("I have no vertical shift.")
            .baselineOffset(0)
            .border(Color.yellow)

        Text("I have 15 points of vertical shift upwards.")
            .baselineOffset(15)
            .border(Color.blue)

        Text("I have 15 points of vertical shift downwards.")
            .baselineOffset(-15)
            .border(Color.green)
    }
    .padding(50)
    .background(Color(red: 0.1, green: 0.1, blue: 0.1))
    .foregroundColor(.white)
}
