# Offset
The `offset` rule defines an offset for the position of the widget.
## Syntax
--8<-- "docs/snippets/syntax_block_start.md"
offset: <a href="../../css_types/scalar">&lt;scalar&gt;</a> <a href="../../css_types/scalar">&lt;scalar&gt;</a>;
offset-x: <a href="../../css_types/scalar">&lt;scalar&gt;</a>;
offset-y: <a href="../../css_types/scalar">&lt;scalar&gt;</a>
--8<-- "docs/snippets/syntax_block_end.md"
The two [`<scalar>`](../../css_types/scalar) in the `offset` define, respectively, the offsets in the horizontal and vertical axes for the widget.
To specify an offset along a single axis, you can use `offset-x` and `offset-y`.
## Example
In this example, we have 3 widgets with differing offsets.
=== "Output"
```{.textual path="docs/examples/styles/offset.py"}
```
=== "offset.py"
```python
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/offset.py"
```
=== "offset.css"
```sass hl_lines="13 20 27"
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/offset.css"
```
## CSS
```sass
/* Move the widget 8 cells in the x direction and 2 in the y direction */
offset: 8 2;
/* Move the widget 4 cells in the x direction
offset-x: 4;
/* Move the widget -3 cells in the y direction
offset-y: -3;
```
## Python
You cannot change programmatically the offset for a single axis.
You have to set the two axes at the same time.
```python
# Move the widget 2 cells in the x direction, and 4 in the y direction.
widget.styles.offset = (2, 4)
```
