# `GSLayer reconnectNodesAtNode1:node2:offset:`

*Instance Method*

Divides paths at two on-curve nodes and reconnects the resulting endpoints crosswise.

## Declaration

```swift
func reconnectNodes(atNode1 node1: GSNode, node2: GSNode, offset: CGFloat)
```

```objc
- (void) reconnectNodesAtNode1:(GSNode *) node1 node2:(GSNode *) node2 offset:(CGFloat) offset;
```

```python
reconnectNodesAtNode1_node2_offset_(node1: GSNode, node2: GSNode, offset: float)
```

## Parameters

- `offset` — The distance by which to extend adjacent segments before reconnecting them.
