# resolvePosition

[Source](https://github.com/konoe-akitoshi/shumoku/blob/main/libs/@shumoku/core/src/layout/interaction.ts#L94)

Resolve position of any rectangle against all obstacles (nodes + subgraphs). Delegates to the engine's geometric solver so editor / renderer / layout all use the same collision rules.

```
resolvePosition(rect: { h: number; w: number; x: number; y: number }, obstacles: { h: number; w: number; x: number; y: number }[], gap?: number): { x: number; y: number }
```

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `rect` | `{ h: number; w: number; x: number; y: number }` | No additional description. | `—` |
| `obstacles` | `{ h: number; w: number; x: number; y: number }[]` | No additional description. | `—` |
| `gap` | `number` | No additional description. | `DEFAULT_NODE_GAP` |

## Returns

```
{ x: number; y: number }
```
