Declaration

func hitTest(_ point: CGPoint, query: CollisionCastQueryType = .all, mask: CollisionGroup = .all) -> [CollisionCastHit]

Parameters

point: A point in the view’s coordinate system.
query: The query type.
mask: A collision mask that can be used to prevent hits with certain objects.

Return Value
