# drawBar(inside:flipped:)

Draws the slider’s bar—but not its bezel or knob—inside the specified rectangle.

## Declaration

```swift
func drawBar(inside rect: NSRect, flipped: Bool)
```

## Parameters

- `rect`: The bounds of the slider’s bar, not of its interior rectangle.
- `flipped`: A Boolean value that indicates whether the cell’s control view—that is, the NSSlider or NSMatrix associated with the NSSliderCell—has a flipped coordinate system.

## Discussion

Discussion You should not call this method explicitly. It’s included so you can override it in a subclass.
