I noticed the differences too, and my guess was that it makes it easier to find functions related to CGRects, by searching the API for terms that contain "CGRect". I actually prefer it this way.

Hello, all

I'm just curious about the naming convention for Core Graphics and Foundation.
For example, NSMakeRect and CGRectMake are similar but different about where the "Rect" is in its method name.
What is even worse is NSPointInRect and CGRectContainsPoint.
So, if a person is used to the Foundation convention, it is not intuitive to find proper method in Core Graphics.


Is there any reason they are named like that?

Thank you.
