Getting the center point of an NSView

Question

I need to get the center point of a NSView in the form of a CGPoint, how can I achieve this? I am basically looking for the equivalent of the UIKit, UIView.center

Answer 1

A simple and easy to read way is:

CGPointMake(NSMidX(myView.frame), NSMidY(myView.frame))

I would suggest making this code, a category on NSView with a read only property named center.

Answer 2

To get an NSPoint of the center, you can just get the x-coordinate of the origin and add (width/2), and get the y-coordinate of the origin and add (height/2). Then you can convert it into a CGPoint.

Answer 3

This code will get you that CGPoint:

CGPointMake((myView.frame.origin.x + (myView.frame.size.width / 2)),
            (myView.frame.origin.y + (myView.frame.size.height / 2)))
