Swift version: 5.2
A CGFloat
is a specialized form of Float
that holds either 32-bits of data or 64-bits of data depending on the platform. The CG tells you it's part of Core Graphics, and it's found throughout UIKit, Core Graphics, Sprite Kit and many other iOS libraries.
If you have a Float
or Double
and need a CGFloat
, you can convert it like this:
let myCGFloat = CGFloat(myDouble)
