[swift-evolution] [Proposal]: Rectangles and other common structures.

Sorry if this is a repeat, but I’d like to suggest promoting certain structs from Foundation to the Swift standard library. As an OS X and iOS developer, it sometimes seems that I work with [GG|NS]Point, [GG|NS]Rect, and [GG|NS]Size almost as much as I use Float or String. I’d love to see

Do you use them a lot outside of a Cocoa/UIKit context? Félix > Le 6 janv. 2016 à 00:08:35, John Randolph via swift-evolution > a écrit : > > Sorry if this is a repeat, but I’d like to suggest promoting certain structs > from Foundation to the Swift standard

NSRect and CGRect are already the same type and can be used interchangeably: > typedef CGRect NSRect; You can easily typealias CGRect to Rect as well if you don't like the two-letter prefix. Otherwise, if you can wait a bit, SE-0005
