# NSDrawColorTiledRects(_:_:_:_:_:)

Draws a single-color, bordered rectangle.

## Declaration

```swift
func NSDrawColorTiledRects(_ boundsRect: NSRect, _ clipRect: NSRect, _ sides: UnsafePointer<NSRectEdge>, _ colors: AutoreleasingUnsafeMutablePointer<NSColor>, _ count: Int) -> NSRect
```

## Parameters

- `boundsRect`: The bounding rectangle (in the current coordinate system) in which to draw. Since this function is often used to draw the border of a view, this rectangle will typically be that view’s bounds rectangle. Only those parts of boundsRect that lie within the clipRect are actually drawn.
- `clipRect`: The clipping rectangle to use during drawing.
- `sides`: The sides of the rectangle for which you want to specify custom colors. Each side must have a corresponding entry in the colors parameter.
- `colors`: The colors to draw for each of the edges listed in the sides parameter.
- `count`: The number of 1.0-unit-wide slices to draw on the specified sides.

## Return Value

Return Value The rectangle that lies within the resulting border.

## Discussion

Discussion Behaves the same as NSDrawTiledRects(_:_:_:_:_:) except it draws its border using colors from the colors array.
