# characterBounds(at:)

Returns the bounds, in page space, of the character at the specified index.

## Declaration

```swift
func characterBounds(at index: Int) -> CGRect
```

```swift
func characterBounds(at index: Int) -> NSRect
```

## Discussion

Discussion In the unlikely event that there is more than one character at the specified index point, only the bounds of the first character is returned. Page space is a 72 dpi coordinate system with the origin at the lower-left corner of the current page. Note that the bounds returned are not guaranteed to have integer coordinates.
