Yeah.. I agree with you in the point of view. But if we take a look at
it from different angle, NSMakeRect is better, because it is more
understandable due to its resemblance to spoken English.
NSPointInRect vs. CGRectContainsPoint is more subtle. Is it Rect-
related method or Point-related method?
Whatever they are, it would be great if there is consistency or if the
document mentions those in "related functions or methods." part.

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.
