## Declaration

```swift
func backingAlignedRect(_ rect: NSRect, options: AlignmentOptions = []) -> NSRect
```

## Parameters

- `rect`: The rectangle in view coordinates.
- `options`: The alignment options. doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/AlignmentOptions specifies the possible values.

## Return Value

Return Value A rectangle, in window coordinates, aligned to the backing store pixels according to the specified options.

## Discussion
