# Taper

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Taper node asset** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It compresses or stretches geometry along the Y-axis — the node-based counterpart of the Taper deformer for procedural setups.

This function compresses or stretches the object to which it's assigned along the Y axis and is identical in its function to the [Taper](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/OTAPER.html.md) Deformer.
