# layoutFrame

The layout guide’s frame in its owning view’s coordinate system.

```
var layoutFrame: CGRect { get }
```

## Discussion

The layout guide defines a rectangular space in its owning view’s coordinate system. This property contains a valid <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/CoreFoundation/CGRect> value by the time its owning view’s [`layoutSubviews()`](/documentation/UIKit/UIView/layoutSubviews()) method is called.
