Position Modifier

Position the center of a layer at specific coordinates in its parent’s coordinate space.

Updated over 10 months ago

Use the Position modifier to override where the parent layer places its children by placing the center of a child layer at a specific coordinate within its parent. This modifier takes two parameters:

  • X - The x-coordinate at which to place the center of the layer

  • Y - The y-coordinate at which to place the center of the layer

The value of x starts at 0 at the Leading edge of the parent layer, and increases as the location moves toward the Trailing edge the parent. The value of y starts at 0 at the top edge of the parent layer, and increases as the location moves toward the bottom edge the parent.

Note

The original dimensions of a layer aren’t changed by re-positioning the contents.
