NSParagraphStyle Class

Definition

A class that specifies paragraph-relevant attributes of an NSAttributedString.

Remarks

An immutable set of attributes associated with the display of an NSAttributedString. Important: the application developer must use the subtype NSMutableParagraphStyle if they modify the paragraph style after assignment to a NSAttributedString. Modifying an attribute of an assigned NSParagraphStyle may result in a program crash.

The members of this class can be used from a background thread.

Constructors

NSParagraphStyle()

Default constructor, initializes a new instance of this class.

NSParagraphStyle(IntPtr)

A constructor used when creating managed representations of unmanaged objects; Called by the runtime.

NSParagraphStyle(NSCoder)

A constructor that initializes the object from the data stored in the unarchiver object.

NSParagraphStyle(NSObjectFlag)

Constructor to call on derived classes to skip initialization and merely allocate the object.
