## Topics

### Constants

[`NSDraggingFormation.default`](/documentation/AppKit/NSDraggingFormation/default)

A constant that represents the system determined formation.

[`NSDraggingFormation.none`](/documentation/AppKit/NSDraggingFormation/none)

A constant that represents no custom formation, so drag images maintain their set positions relative to each other.

[`NSDraggingFormation.pile`](/documentation/AppKit/NSDraggingFormation/pile)

A constant that represents a pile formation, so drag images display on top of each other with random rotations.

[`NSDraggingFormation.list`](/documentation/AppKit/NSDraggingFormation/list)

A constant that represents a list formation, so drag images display vertically, non-overlapping with the left edges aligned.

[`NSDraggingFormation.stack`](/documentation/AppKit/NSDraggingFormation/stack)

A constant that represents a stack formation, so drag images display overlapping diagonally.
