# noIntrinsicMetric

A value that tells the layout system to ignore the intrinsic size value for a given dimension.

## Declaration

```swift
class let noIntrinsicMetric: CGFloat
```

## Discussion

Discussion Specify this value if a view doesn’t have an intrinsic height or width. For example, a horizontal slider has an intrinsic height but might have no intrinsic width.
