# setDrawsOutsideLineFragment(_:forGlyphRange:)

Sets whether the specified glyphs exceed the bounds of the line fragment in which they are laid out.

## Declaration

```swift
func setDrawsOutsideLineFragment(_ flag: Bool, forGlyphRange glyphRange: NSRange)
```

## Parameters

- `flag`: doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true if the glyphs in glyphRange exceed the bounds of the line fragment in which they are laid out, doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false otherwise.
- `glyphRange`: The range of the glyphs in question.

## Discussion

Discussion This can happen when text is set at a fixed line height. For example, if the user specifies a fixed line height of 12 points and sets the font size to 24 points, the glyphs will exceed their layout rectangles. A subclass can override this method to interact with custom glyph storage.
