NSViewMBS.rotateByAngle(angle as Double)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	13.1	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

Rotates the receiver's bounds rectangle by a specified degree value around the origin of the coordinate system, (0.0, 0.0).

angle: A float value specifying the angle of rotation, in degrees.

See the BoundsRotation property description for more information. This method neither redisplays the receiver nor marks it as needing display. You must do this yourself with display or NeedsDisplay.

This method posts an NSViewBoundsDidChangeNotification to the default notification center if the receiver is configured to do so.

NSViewMBS.scaleUnitSquareToSize(size as NSSizeMBS)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	11.0	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

Scales the receiver's coordinate system so that the unit square scales to the specified dimensions.

For example, a newUnitSize of (0.5, 1.0) causes the receiver's horizontal coordinates to be halved, in turn doubling the width of its bounds rectangle. Note that scaling is performed from the origin of the coordinate system, (0.0, 0.0), not the origin of the bounds rectangle; as a result, both the origin and size of the bounds rectangle are changed. The frame rectangle remains unchanged.

This method neither redisplays the receiver nor marks it as needing display. You must do this yourself with display or setNeedsDisplay.

This method posts an NSViewBoundsDidChangeNotification to the default notification center if the receiver is configured to do so.

Some examples using this method:

• /MacControls/TextEdit MBS
• /MacFrameworks/IKImageBrowser/IKImageBrowser Groups
• /MacFrameworks/IKImageBrowser/IKImageBrowser Scroll

NSViewMBS.Screenshot as Picture

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	22.2	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

Renders the view into a picture.

Like ScreenshotWindowMBS, but only for the view you are interested in, e.g. a map.
Returns nil on failure like out of memory.

NSViewMBS.setBackgroundFilters(Filters() as variant)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	18.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop only

Sets an array of Core Image filters to apply to the view’s background.

This property contains an array of CIFilterMBS objects. This array represents the background filters stored in the backgroundFilters property of the view’s layer. If the view does not have a layer, setting the value of this property has no effect.
The default value of this property is an empty array.

We use variant here to reduce plugin dependencies. Please use with array of variants containing CIFilterMBS.

NSViewMBS.subviews(recursive as boolean = false) as NSViewMBS()

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacBase Plugin	9.6	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

The immediate subviews.

The order of the subviews may be considered as being back-to-front, but this does not imply invalidation and drawing behavior. The order is based on the order of the receiver's subviews as specified in the nib file from which they were unarchived or the programmatic interface for modifying the receiver's subview list. This ordering is also the reverse of the order in which hit-testing is done.

If recursive is true, we include all subviews of all subviews. (new in 14.2)

Some examples using this method:

• /MacBase/Custom NSWindows/NSWindow with Pattern/Pattern NSWindow
• /MacCocoa/Background view over titlebar
• /MacCocoa/Text in titlebar
