[`NSHapticFeedbackManager.FeedbackPattern.alignment`](/documentation/AppKit/NSHapticFeedbackManager/FeedbackPattern/alignment)

For example, this pattern of feedback could be used in a drawing app when the user drags a shape into alignment with another shape. Other scenarios where this type of feedback could be used might include scaling an object to fit within specific dimensions, positioning an object at a preferred location, or reaching the beginning/minimum or end/maximum of something, such as a track view in an audio/video app.

[`NSHapticFeedbackManager.FeedbackPattern.levelChange`](/documentation/AppKit/NSHapticFeedbackManager/FeedbackPattern/levelChange)

A haptic feedback pattern to be used as the user moves between discrete levels of pressure. This pattern of feedback is used by multilevel accelerator buttons (class [`NSMultiLevelAcceleratorButton`](/documentation/AppKit/NSMultiLevelAcceleratorButton)).
