# `GSLayer braceCoordinateAxes`

*Instance Method*

Axes represented by Intermediate-layer coordinates.

## Declaration

```swift
func braceCoordinateAxes() -> [GSAxis]
```

```objc
- (NSArray<GSAxis *> *) braceCoordinateAxes;
```

```python
braceCoordinateAxes() -> list[GSAxis]
```

## Discussion

Smart glyphs include both font axes and glyph-local axes.
