# data

The data describing the geometry element.

## Declaration

```swift
var data: Data { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion An element’s data is an array of index values identifying vertices in a geometry source. SceneKit interprets the data as an array of unsigned integers, whose size is specified by the bytesPerIndex property.
