# NSDivideRect(_:_:_:_:_:) Divides a rectangle into two new rectangles. ``` func NSDivideRect(_ inRect: NSRect, _ slice: UnsafeMutablePointer, _ rem: UnsafeMutablePointer, _ amount: Double, _ edge: NSRectEdge) ``` ## Discussion Creates two rectangles—`slice` and `rem`—from `inRect`, by dividing `inRect` with a line that’s parallel to the side of `inRect` specified by `edge`. The size of `slice` is determined by `amount`, which specifies the distance from `edge`. `slice` and `rem` must not be `NULL`. For more information, see [`NSRectEdge`](/documentation/Foundation/NSRectEdge). --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
