# imageOrigin

The point in the receiver’s image that is positioned at the receiver’s location on the ruler view.

```
var imageOrigin: NSPoint { get set }
```

## Discussion

For a horizontal ruler, the x coordinate of the image origin is aligned with the location of the marker, and the y coordinate lies on the baseline of the ruler. For vertical rulers, the y coordinate of the image origin is the location, and the x coordinate lies on the baseline.
