# accessibilityLineNumber(for:)

Returns the line number that contains the specified point.

```
@MainActor func accessibilityLineNumber(for point: CGPoint) -> Int
```

## Parameters

`point`

A point within the bounds of the receiver’s view space, in screen coordinates. That is, a point for which `[self pointInside:point withEvent:event] == YES`.

## Return Value

The line number that contains the specified point or `NSNotFound` if the point indicates an empty area within the receiver’s rectangle. By default, this method returns `NSNotFound`.

## Discussion

This method is called only when `point` is within the bounds of the view or element.

## See Also

[`convertToScreenCoordinates(_:in:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UIAccessibility/convertToScreenCoordinates(_:in:)-9ziiu)

Converts the specified rectangle from view coordinates to screen coordinates.
