# originOffset

The distance to the zero hash mark from the bounds origin of the NSScrollView’s document view (not of the receiver’s client view), in the document view’s coordinate system.

## Declaration

```swift
var originOffset: CGFloat { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The default offset is 0.0, meaning that the ruler origin coincides with the bounds origin of the document view.
