+## Accessing Coordinates
+
+Some status fields provide a "coordinate". For macro users these
+fields may be accessed by component name
+(eg,`{printer.toolhead.position.x}`), where the component name may be
+"x", "y", or "z".
+
+For developers using the Klipper API Server these fields are
+transmitted as a list - for example: `{"toolhead": {"position": [1.0,
+2.0, 3.0, 7.3, 19.2]}}` . The first three components of the list
+correspond with the x, y, and z axes.
+
+A coordinate will typically have at least 3 components (x, y, and z),
+however there may also be additional components. Care should be taken
+when accessing any of these additional components as the ordering and
+number of components may change at run-time.
+
+One may use `{printer.gcode_move.axis_map}` and/or
+`{printer.toolhead.extra_axes}` to determine the number of components
+and the ordering of components. For example, to access the "E"
+component one could use
+`{printer.toolhead.position[printer.gcode_move.axis_map.E]}`. Or, if
+one wanted to find the component associated with the "extruder"
+object, one could use
+`{printer.toolhead.position[printer.toolhead.extra_axes.extruder]}`.
