# `GSNode setPosition:forLayerWidth:`

*Instance Method*

Sets the position in layer coordinates for a layer width.

## Declaration

```swift
func setPosition(_ position: NSPoint, forLayerWidth width: CGFloat)
```

```objc
- (void) setPosition:(NSPoint) position forLayerWidth:(CGFloat) width;
```

```python
setPosition_forLayerWidth_(position: NSPoint, width: float)
```

## Parameters

- `width` — The layer width used for orientation adjustment.

## Discussion

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