Excellent tip! I've also learned to use drawingGroup() to render an entire subtree view offscreen and into a single Metal texture to increase performance where appropriate; at least I hope.
Any thoughts on how to use drawingGroup() correctly?

Ever wondered why your SwiftUI animation looks like it's falling apart? It's usually a geometry or compositing boundary issue.

Such a nice little article explaining the difference of the group modifiers nilcoalescing.com/blog/Geometr... I used the drawingGroup() in onboardings on pieces of UI that I need to render statically. It felt like a cheat code when I found it for Camp Notes onboarding.

drawingGroup is the one I always forget until my shadow-heavy list starts dropping frames. rasterizes to Metal, so it helps for complex offscreen rendering but actually slows down text. have you tested the perf difference on text-heavy views?

You’re amazing, Natalia! 🙌
Thanks for this article. I know and use compositingGroup but I didn’t know about the other two 🤯
BTW, if there’s and example image for drawingGroup, it’s not loading for me. And the example images for the other two were very useful!

SwiftUI has three similarly named grouping modifiers: geometryGroup(), compositingGroup() and drawingGroup(). If, like me, you sometimes forget which one does what, I’ve just published a guide explaining how they differ and when to use each one: nilcoalescing.com/blog/Geometr...

DrawingGroup() is useful for cached content but detrimental to animating content, as it requires Metal to allocate and rasterize new textures each frame.
Shadows should remain within DrawingGroup() to be absorbed into the Metal rasterization pass.

I believe that yellow background + prohibited symbol means you’re trying to render a SwiftUI view backed by a UIKit/AppKit view through something that only supports rendering “pure” SwiftUI views.
Saw that a lot when using drawingGroup(opaque:colorMode:) (this behavior is even documented there).
