Position Modifier

The Position modifier positions the center of a layer at the specified coordinates in its parent’s coordinate space.

Overview

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.
