# drawSelection(in:)

Draws the selected row.

## Declaration

```swift
func drawSelection(in dirtyRect: NSRect)
```

## Parameters

## Discussion

Discussion This method is only called if the selection should be drawn. The selection will automatically be alpha-blended if the selection is animating in or out. The default selection drawn is dependent on the selectionHighlightStyle.
