# importsGraphics

A Boolean value that controls whether the text views sharing the receiver’s layout manager allow the user to import files by dragging.

```
var importsGraphics: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> to allow the user to import files by dragging onto the text views sharing the receiver’s layout manager, <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false> otherwise.

Text views that are set to accept dragged files are also set to allow rich text. By default, text views don’t accept dragged files but do allow rich text.
