Hello, is the a way to get a

@Composable

to not get cliped by the parent? I already tried using

Modifier.drawLayer(clip = false)

but it seems to have no effect.

Only some composable layouts clip their children.

Surface

is one of them. Unless the parameters for that composable offer a way to change that setting, you cannot change it.

Well @Adam Powell the behaviour i was trying to achieve was a grid of selectable items in a card and when the user taps one of them it will get larger and expand beyond the bounds of the card. So there is no way to have a shape to define a card and also have a child of that

Composable

not be clipped by that shape unless i draw the card first and then grid on top instead of wrapping the grid with a card?

or write your own composable that gives you the container behavior you'd like without the clip; https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-master-dev:compose/material/material/src/commonMain/kotlin/androidx/compose/material/Surface.kt?q=Surface.kt is a good template

Ok, I got it thx alot for the speedy answers @Adam Powell.
