title: Anchor
---
Anchor(name: str, x: int = 0, y: int = 0, _formatspecific: dict = <factory>, _: dict = None)
## Anchor.name
* Python type: `str`
* **Required field**
## Anchor.x
* Python type: `int`
*If not provided, defaults to* `0`.
## Anchor.y
* Python type: `int`
*If not provided, defaults to* `0`.
## Anchor._formatspecific
* Python type: `dict`
Each object in Babelfont has an optional attached dictionary to allow the storage
of format-specific information. Font creation software may store any additional
information that they wish to have preserved on import and export under a
namespaced (reverse-domain) key in this dictionary. For example, information
specific to the Glyphs software should be stored under the key `com.glyphsapp`.
The value stored under this key may be any data serializable in JSON; typically
it will be a `dict`.
Note that there is an important distinction between the Python object format
of this field and the Babelfont-JSON representation. When stored to JSON, this key
is exported not as `_formatspecific` but as a simple underscore (`_`).
