# imageScaling(forSegment:)

Returns the image scaling mode associated with the specified segment.

## Declaration

```swift
func imageScaling(forSegment segment: Int) -> NSImageScaling
```

## Parameters

- `segment`: The index of the segment whose image scaling mode you want to get. This method raises an exception (doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSExceptionName/rangeException) if the index is out of bounds.

## Return Value

Return Value The scaling mode in use for the specified segment. For the possible values, see NSSegmentedControl.Style. If no value has been explicitly set, NSImageScaling.scaleProportionallyDown is returned.
