```
typedef struct { ... } UIPointerAccessoryPosition;
```

## Topics

### Getting an accessory position

[`extern const UIPointerAccessoryPosition UIPointerAccessoryPositionTop;`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPointerAccessoryPositionTop)

An accessory position at the top of the primary pointer.

[`extern const UIPointerAccessoryPosition UIPointerAccessoryPositionTopRight;`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPointerAccessoryPositionTopRight)

An accessory position at the top-right of the primary pointer.

[`extern const UIPointerAccessoryPosition UIPointerAccessoryPositionRight;`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPointerAccessoryPositionRight)

An accessory position at the right of the primary pointer.

[`extern const UIPointerAccessoryPosition UIPointerAccessoryPositionBottomRight;`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPointerAccessoryPositionBottomRight)

An accessory position at the bottom-right of the primary pointer.

[`extern const UIPointerAccessoryPosition UIPointerAccessoryPositionBottom;`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPointerAccessoryPositionBottom)

An accessory position at the bottom of the primary pointer.

[`extern const UIPointerAccessoryPosition UIPointerAccessoryPositionBottomLeft;`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPointerAccessoryPositionBottomLeft)

An accessory position at the bottom-left of the primary pointer.

[`extern const UIPointerAccessoryPosition UIPointerAccessoryPositionLeft;`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPointerAccessoryPositionLeft)

An accessory position at the left of the primary pointer.

[`extern const UIPointerAccessoryPosition UIPointerAccessoryPositionTopLeft;`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPointerAccessoryPositionTopLeft)

An accessory position at the top-left of the primary pointer.

### Creating a custom accessory position

[`static UIPointerAccessoryPosition UIPointerAccessoryPositionMake(CGFloat offset, CGFloat angle);`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPointerAccessoryPositionMake)

Creates a custom accessory position with the specified offset and angle.

[`CGFloat angle;`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPointerAccessoryPosition/angle)

The angle of the accessory’s position, measured in radians clockwise from the top of the primary pointer.

[`CGFloat offset;`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPointerAccessoryPosition/offset)

The offset of the accessory from the primary pointer.
