# orderFrontStandardAboutPanel(options:)

Displays a standard About window with information from a given options dictionary.

## Declaration

```swift
func orderFrontStandardAboutPanel(options optionsDictionary: [NSApplication.AboutPanelOptionKey : Any] = [:])
```

## Parameters

- `optionsDictionary`: A dictionary whose keys define the contents of the About window. For a list of keys, see doc://com.apple.appkit/documentation/AppKit/NSApplication/AboutPanelOptionKey.

## Discussion

Discussion In addition to the keys in AboutPanelOptionKey, you may also include the following key in optionsDictionary: @``"Copyright": An NSString object with a line of copyright information. If not specified, this method then looks for the value of NSHumanReadableCopyright in the localized version of the app’s Info.plist file. If neither is available, this method leaves the space blank.
