## Declaration

```swift
func verticalShift(_ shift: CGFloat, otherShifts: [String : NSValue]?)
```

```objc
- (void) verticalShift:(CGFloat) shift otherShifts:(NSDictionary<NSString *,NSValue *> *) otherShifts;
```

```python
verticalShift_otherShifts_(shift: float, otherShifts: dict[str, NSValue])
```

## Parameters

- `shift` — The vertical displacement in layer coordinates.
- `otherShifts` — Base glyph names mapped to their simultaneous displacement vectors.
