How do you satisfy the 'lineOrigins' argument in CTFrameGetLineOrigins() in Swift?

I'm trying to figure out CTFrameGetLineOrigins from here: CTFrameGetLineOrigins Got Incorrect Origins, and trying to convert the ObjC to Swift.

Obj-C:

CFArrayRef lines = CTFrameGetLines(frame);
size_t numOfLines = CFArrayGetCount(lines);
CGPoint lineOrigins[numOfLines];
CTFrameGetLineOrigins(frame, CFRangeMake(0, 0), lineOrigins);

Swift:

let lines = CTFrameGetLines(frame)
let numOfLines: size_t = CFArrayGetCount(lines)
let lineOrigins = [CGPoint](repeating: CGPoint.zero, count: numOfLines)
CTFrameGetLineOrigins(frame, CFRangeMake(0, 0), lineOrigins)

But I am getting an error for the 3rd parameter of CTFrameGetLineOrigins:
Cannot convert value of type '[CGPoint]' to expected argument type 'UnsafeMutablePointer'

How do I get past this error?

Solution

  • Actually I just added & to the parameter and made the constant a variable.

    let lines = CTFrameGetLines(frame)
let numOfLines: size_t = CFArrayGetCount(lines)
var lineOrigins = [CGPoint](repeating: CGPoint.zero, count: numOfLines)
CTFrameGetLineOrigins(frame, CFRangeMake(0, 0), &lineOrigins)
