# `GSNode.position`

*Instance Property*

The position in layer coordinates.

## Declaration

```swift
var position: NSPoint { get set }
```

```objc
@property (nonatomic, assign) NSPoint position;
```

[See also `position` in the Python API](https://docu.glyphsapp.com/#GSNode.position)

```python
pyobjc_instanceMethods.position() -> NSPoint
pyobjc_instanceMethods.setPosition_(position: NSPoint)
```

## Discussion

For a node in a path, setting the position registers undo, aligns it to the layer grid, and notifies the path.
