# NSPointFromString(_:)

Returns a point from a text-based representation.

## Declaration

```swift
func NSPointFromString(_ aString: String) -> NSPoint
```

## Parameters

- `aString`: A string of the form “{x, y}”.

## Return Value

Return Value If aString is of the form “{x, y}” an NSPoint structure that uses x and y as the x and y coordinates, in that order.

## Discussion

Discussion If aString only contains a single number, it is used as the x coordinate. If aString does not contain any numbers, returns an NSPoint object whose x and y coordinates are both 0.
