Class

NSUserInterfaceCompressionOptions

An object that specifies how user interface elements resize themselves when space is constrained.

Declaration

@interface NSUserInterfaceCompressionOptions : NSObject

Overview

An instance of NSUserInterfaceCompressionOptions contains zero or more options. Because a compression options object behaves like a set, you can use common operations like intersection, union and subtraction to interact with instances and their members.

You can access system-defined options through the class methods detailed in Creating Standard Options, or you can create your own custom options with the initWithIdentifier: initializer.

To compare two different compression options objects, use the methods described in the Comparing Compression Options section.

Topics

Comparing Compression Options

A Boolean value that denotes whether the option is empty.

- containsOptions:

Determines whether the supplied compression options are all present in the current instance.

- intersectsOptions:

Determines whether the supplied compression options intersect with the current instance's options.

Combining Compression Options

- optionsByAddingOptions:

Creates a new compression options object representing the union with the provided options.

- optionsByRemovingOptions:

Creates a new compression options object with the supplied options removed.
