# `GSGuide.angle`

*Instance Property*

The rotation in degrees, with zero degrees along the positive x-axis.

## Declaration

```swift
var angle: CGFloat { get set }
```

```objc
@property (nonatomic) CGFloat angle;
```

[See also `angle` in the Python API](https://docu.glyphsapp.com/#GSGuide.angle)

```python
pyobjc_instanceMethods.angle() -> float
pyobjc_instanceMethods.setAngle_(angle: float)
```

## Discussion

Setting the angle has no effect while [`GSGuide.lockAngle`](/Core/GlyphsCore/GSGuide/lockAngle) is enabled.
