# contains(_:)

Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the path contains the specified point.

## Declaration

```swift
func contains(_ point: NSPoint) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `point`: The point to test against the path, specified in the path object’s coordinate system.

## Return Value

Return Value true if the path’s enclosed area contains the specified point; otherwise, false.

## Discussion

Discussion This method checks the point against the path itself and the area it encloses. When determining hits in the enclosed area, this method uses the non-zero winding rule (NSNonZeroWindingRule). It does not take into account the line width used to stroke the path.
