# maximumLineHeight

The paragraph’s maximum line height.

## Declaration

```swift
var maximumLineHeight: CGFloat { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property contains the maximum height in points that any line in the receiver occupies, regardless of the font size or size of any attached graphic. This value is always nonnegative. The default value is 0. Glyphs and graphics exceeding this height overlaps neighboring lines; however, a maximum height of 0 implies no line height limit. Although this limit applies to the line itself, line spacing adds extra space between adjacent lines.
