# init(fileWrapper:)

Creates a text attachment object to contain the specified file wrapper.

## Declaration

```swift
convenience init(fileWrapper: FileWrapper?)
```

## Parameters

- `fileWrapper`: The file wrapper for the attachment.

## Return Value

Return Value A new text attachment object initialized with the file wrapper.

## Discussion

Discussion This method is the designated initializer for the NSTextAttachment class in macOS. If aWrapper contains an image file that the receiver can interpret as an NSImage object, this method sets the attachment cell’s image to that image rather than to the icon of aWrapper.
