# setBoundsRect(_:for:glyphRange:)

Sets the bounding rectangle that encloses the specified text block and glyph range.

## Declaration

```swift
func setBoundsRect(_ rect: NSRect, for block: NSTextBlock, glyphRange: NSRange)
```

## Parameters

- `rect`: The bounding rectangle to set.
- `block`: The text block whose bounding rectangle is set.
- `glyphRange`: The range of glyphs in the text block.

## Discussion

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