# image(_:hotSpot:)

Initializes a pointer style with a given image and hot spot.

## Declaration

```swift
static func image(_ image: Image, hotSpot: UnitPoint) -> PointerStyle
```

## Parameters

- `image`: The pointer image.
- `hotSpot`: The point on the image that represents the location from which the pointer interaction occurs. For example, the hot spot of an arrow-shaped pointer is the tip of the arrow.

## Discussion

Discussion The hot spot is the part of the pointer that must be positioned over an onscreen element for clicking to have an effect. For guidance on using a custom pointer, refer to Pointing devices in the Human Interface Guidelines. You may apply this pointer style to a single view or a view hierarchy using the pointerStyle(_:) modifier.
