Draws the horizontal separator between table rows.

## Declaration

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

## Parameters

- `dirtyRect`: The rectangle that requires drawing.

## Discussion

Discussion By default, the separator is only drawn if the enclosing table’s gridStyleMask is set to include a horizontal separator. The separator should be drawn at the bottom of the row view, indicating a separation from this row and the next.
