# `GSFont masterNearestToPosition:`

*Instance Method*

Returns the master nearest to an internal design-space position.

## Declaration

```swift
func masterNearest(toPosition position: UnsafeMutablePointer<CGFloat>) -> Any?
```

```objc
- (id) masterNearestToPosition:(CGFloat *) position;
```

```python
masterNearestToPosition_(position: float) -> object
```

## Discussion

The position buffer must contain one internal coordinate per font axis, in font-axis order.
