layoutRect(for:at:effectiveRange:)

Returns the rectangle for the layout of the specified text block and glyph.

Declaration

func layoutRect(for block: NSTextBlock, at glyphIndex: Int, effectiveRange effectiveGlyphRange: NSRangePointer?) -> NSRect

Parameters

  • block:

    The text block whose layout rectangle is returned.

  • glyphIndex:

    Index of the glyph.

  • effectiveGlyphRange:

    If not NULL, on output, the range for all glyphs in the text block.

Return Value

The layout rectangle of the text block, or NSZeroRect if no rectangle has been set for the specified block since the last invalidation.

Discussion

This method causes glyph generation but not layout. Block layout rectangles and bounds rectangles are always in container coordinates.
