# calloutOffset

The offset, in CSS pixels, of a callout from the top center of the element.

## Declaration

```data
calloutOffset?: DOMPoint;
```

## Discussion

Discussion The default value is DOMPoint(0, 1), placing the callout bubble is slightly (1 pixel) above the top-center point of the annotation element. To choose a different placement, provide an offset point where positive x values move the callout bubble to the left, and positive y values move the callout bubble up. For example, to leave a 5px margin between the top of the annotation and the bottom of the callout, use a callout offset of DOMPoint(0, 5).
