# layoutAttributesForSupplementaryElement(ofKind:at:) Gets the layout information for the specified supplementary view. ``` func layoutAttributesForSupplementaryElement(ofKind kind: String, at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes? ``` ## Parameters `kind` A string specifying the kind of supplementary view whose layout attributes you want. Layout classes are responsible for defining the kinds of supplementary views they support. `indexPath` The index path of the supplementary view. The interpretation of this value depends on how the layout implements the view. For example, a view associated with a section might contain just a section value. ## Return Value The layout attributes of the supplementary view or `nil` if the specified supplementary view does not exist. ## Discussion Use this method to retrieve the layout information for a particular supplementary view. You should always use this method instead of querying the layout object directly. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
