# paragraphSpacing

Distance between the bottom of this paragraph and top of next.

## Declaration

```swift
var paragraphSpacing: CGFloat { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property contains the space (measured in points) between paragraphs. This value is always nonnegative. The framework determines the space between paragraphs by adding the previous paragraph’s paragraphSpacing and the current paragraph’s paragraphSpacingBefore.
