# drawMarkers(in:)

Draws the receiver’s markers in `aRect`, which is expressed in the receiver’s coordinate system.

```
func drawMarkers(in rect: NSRect)
```

## Discussion

This method is invoked by [`draw(_:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSRulerMarker/draw(_:)); you should never need to invoke it directly, but you might want to override it if you want to do something different when drawing markers.
