Is there a way to put a scalar type like CGPoint (or any self created) into a NSArray?

Question

Probably I could create a class that holds an CGPoint as instance variable, like a wrapper. Does that make sense? I feel uncomfortable with that, though. I hope there is an better solution.

How about any self-created scalar type? Like MyCoolScalarType?

Answer 1

NSValue

Answer 2

You can box a CGPoint value into an NSValue object. It is documented in NSValue UIKit Additions Reference.

Answer 3

Make it an object. You could try this:

CGPoint point = CGPointMake(1.f,1.f);

[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:point];

This goes for pretty much every scalar you want to put in an NSArray:

CGFloat foo = 1.f;

[NSNumber numberWithFloat:foo];
