# paragraphSpacing

Distance between the bottom of this paragraph and top of next.

```
var paragraphSpacing: CGFloat { get }
```

## Discussion

This property contains the space (measured in points) between paragraphs. This value is always nonnegative. The framework determines the space between paragraphs by adding the previous paragraph’s `paragraphSpacing` and the current paragraph’s [`paragraphSpacingBefore`](/documentation/UIKit/NSParagraphStyle/paragraphSpacingBefore).
