# `GSLayer braceAxesValuesList:axes:`

*Instance Method*

Copies explicit Intermediate-layer coordinates into an axis-value buffer.

## Declaration

```swift
func braceAxesValuesList(_ axesValuesList: UnsafeMutablePointer<CGFloat>, axes: [GSAxis]) -> Bool
```

```objc
- (BOOL) braceAxesValuesList:(CGFloat *) axesValuesList axes:(NSArray<GSAxis *> *) axes;
```

```python
braceAxesValuesList_axes_(axesValuesList: float, axes: list[GSAxis]) -> bool
```

## Parameters

- `axesValuesList` — A buffer with at least one entry for each axis.
- `axes` — The axes that determine the buffer order.

## Return Value

Whether the layer has a valid coordinates dictionary.

## Discussion

Values for axes without an explicit coordinate are left unchanged.
