# baselineOffsetFromBottom

The distance (in points) between the bottom of the view’s alignment rectangle and its baseline.

## Declaration

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

## Discussion

Discussion The default value of this property is 0. For views that contain text or other content whose layout benefits from having a custom baseline, you can override this property and provide the correct distance between the bottom of the view’s alignment rectangle and that baseline.
