CTLineMBS.CreateWithAttributedString(s as CFAttributedStringMBS) as CTLineMBS

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
shared method CoreText MBS MacCG Plugin 14.2 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ✅ Yes All
Creates a single immutable line object directly from an attributed string.

s: The string from which the line is created.

Returns a reference to a CTLine object if the call was successful; otherwise, nil.

This function allows clients who need very simple line generation to create a line without creating a typesetter object. The typesetting is done under the hood. Without a typesetter object, the line cannot be properly broken. However, for simple things like text labels, line breaking is not an issue.
Available in OS X v10.5 and later.
