Instance Method

glyphRangeForBoundingRectWithoutAdditionalLayout:inTextContainer:

Returns the smallest contiguous range for glyphs that are laid out wholly or partially within the given rectangle in the given text container.

Declaration

iOS, Mac Catalyst, tvOS
- (NSRange)glyphRangeForBoundingRectWithoutAdditionalLayout:(CGRect)bounds inTextContainer:(NSTextContainer *)container;
macOS
- (NSRange)glyphRangeForBoundingRectWithoutAdditionalLayout:(NSRect)bounds inTextContainer:(NSTextContainer *)container;

Parameters

bounds

The bounding rectangle for which to return glyphs.

container

The text container in which the glyphs are laid out.

Return Value

The range of glyphs that would need to be displayed in order to draw all glyphs that fall (even partially) within the given bounding rectangle. The range returned can include glyphs that don’t fall inside or intersect bounds, although the first and last glyphs in the range always do. At most this method returns the glyph range for the whole container.

Discussion

Unlike glyphRangeForBoundingRect:inTextContainer:, this variant of the method doesn’t perform glyph generation or layout. Its results, though faster, can be incorrect. This method is primarily for use by NSTextView; you should rarely need to use it yourself.

Bounding rectangles are always in container coordinates.

- boundingRectForGlyphRange:inTextContainer:

Returns a single bounding rectangle (in container coordinates) enclosing all glyphs and other marks drawn in the given text container for the given glyph range, including glyphs that draw outside their line fragment rectangles and text attributes such as underlining.

- characterIndexForPoint:inTextContainer:fractionOfDistanceBetweenInsertionPoints:

Returns the index of the character falling under the given point, expressed in the given container's coordinate system.

- characterRangeForGlyphRange:actualGlyphRange:

Returns the range of characters that generated the glyphs in the given glyph range.

- enumerateEnclosingRectsForGlyphRange:withinSelectedGlyphRange:inTextContainer:usingBlock:

Enumerates enclosing rectangles for the given glyph range in the given text container.

- enumerateLineFragmentsForGlyphRange:usingBlock:

Enumerates line fragments intersecting with the given glyph range.

- fractionOfDistanceThroughGlyphForPoint:inTextContainer:

This method is a primitive for glyphIndexForPoint:inTextContainer:fractionOfDistanceThroughGlyph:. You should always call the main method, not the primitives.

- getLineFragmentInsertionPointsForCharacterAtIndex:alternatePositions:inDisplayOrder:positions:characterIndexes:

Returns insertion points in bulk for a given line fragment.

- glyphIndexForPoint:inTextContainer:

This method is a primitive for glyphIndexForPoint:inTextContainer:fractionOfDistanceThroughGlyph:. You should always call the main method, not the primitives.

- glyphIndexForPoint:inTextContainer:fractionOfDistanceThroughGlyph:

Returns the index of the glyph falling under the given point, expressed in the given container's coordinate system.

- glyphRangeForBoundingRect:inTextContainer:

Returns the smallest contiguous range for glyphs that are laid out wholly or partially within the given rectangle in the given text container.

- glyphRangeForTextContainer:

Returns the range of glyphs laid out within the given text container.

- glyphRangeForCharacterRange:actualCharacterRange:

Returns the range of glyphs that are generated from the characters in the given character range.

- rangeOfNominallySpacedGlyphsContainingIndex:

Returns the range for the glyphs around the given glyph that can be displayed using only their advancements from the font, without pairwise kerning or other adjustments to spacing.
