## API Reference

> Source set: Common

```kotlin
class Cutout(
        val isAlwaysMinimized: Boolean = false,
        val minimizedAlignment: Alignment.Horizontal = Alignment.Start,
        val expandedAlignment: Alignment.Horizontal = Alignment.Start,
    ) : TextFieldLabelPosition()
```

The label is positioned inside the text field container when expanded and cuts into the
border when minimized.

This is the default label position for [OutlinedTextField](/jetpack-compose/androidx.compose.material3/material3/components/OutlinedTextField).

#### Parameters

| | |
| --- | --- |
| isAlwaysMinimized | Whether to always keep the label of the text field minimized. If `false`, the label will expand to occupy the input area when the text field is unfocused and empty. If `true`, this allows displaying the placeholder, prefix, and suffix alongside the label when the text field is unfocused and empty. |
| minimizedAlignment | The horizontal alignment of the label when it is minimized. |
| expandedAlignment | The horizontal alignment of the label when it is expanded. |
