# `GSLayer.coordinates`

*Instance Property*

Explicit Intermediate-layer coordinates keyed by axis ID.

## Declaration

```swift
var coordinates: [String : NSNumber] { get set }
```

```objc
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSDictionary<NSString *,NSNumber *> * coordinates;
```

```python
coordinates() -> dict[str, NSNumber]
setCoordinates_(coordinates: dict[str, NSNumber])
```

## Discussion

Returns an empty dictionary when the layer has no coordinates. Setting an empty dictionary removes the coordinates, so the layer is no longer an Intermediate layer.
