# rect(for:)

Returns the rectangle occupied by `aPart`, which for this method is interpreted literally rather than as an indicator of scrolling direction.

```
func rect(for partCode: NSScroller.Part) -> NSRect
```

## Discussion

See [`NSScroller.Part`](/documentation/AppKit/NSScroller/Part) for a list of possible values for `aPart`.

Note the interpretations of `NSScrollerDecrementPage` and `NSScrollerIncrementPage`. The actual part of an NSScroller that causes page-by-page scrolling varies, so as a convenience these part codes refer to useful parts different from the scroll buttons.

Returns `NSZeroRect` if the part requested isn’t present on the receiver.

## See Also

[`hitPart`](/documentation/AppKit/NSScroller/hitPart)

A part code indicating the manner in which the scrolling should be performed.
