# `GSPath positionAtIndex:`

*Instance Method*

Position for a node index.

## Declaration

```objc
- (NSPoint) positionAtIndex:(NSInteger) idx;
```

```python
positionAtIndex_(idx: int) -> NSPoint
```

## Discussion

Closed paths wrap indexes around the node array. Open paths return the zero point for indexes outside the node array.
