Update to Swift 3.1 Emmanuel's code in swift updated to version 3.1

class TagLayoutManager: NSLayoutManager {

override func fillBackgroundRectArray(_ rectArray: UnsafePointer, count rectCount: Int, forCharacterRange charRange: NSRange, color: UIColor) {

    let cornerRadius:CGFloat = 5
    let path = CGMutablePath.init()




    if rectCount == 1 || (rectCount == 2 && (rectArray[1].maxX < rectArray[0].maxX)) {

        path.addRect(rectArray[0].insetBy(dx: cornerRadius, dy: cornerRadius))

        if rectCount == 2 {
            path.addRect(rectArray[1].insetBy(dx: cornerRadius, dy: cornerRadius))
        }

    } else {

        let lastRect = rectCount - 1

        path.move(to: CGPoint(x: rectArray[0].minX + cornerRadius, y: rectArray[0].maxY + cornerRadius))

        path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: rectArray[0].minX + cornerRadius, y: rectArray[0].minY + cornerRadius))
        path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: rectArray[0].maxX - cornerRadius, y: rectArray[0].minY + cornerRadius))

        path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: rectArray[0].maxX - cornerRadius, y: rectArray[lastRect].minY - cornerRadius))
        path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: rectArray[lastRect].maxX - cornerRadius, y: rectArray[lastRect].minY - cornerRadius))

        path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: rectArray[lastRect].maxX - cornerRadius, y: rectArray[lastRect].maxY - cornerRadius))
        path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: rectArray[lastRect].minX + cornerRadius, y: rectArray[lastRect].maxY - cornerRadius))

        path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: rectArray[lastRect].minX + cornerRadius, y: rectArray[0].maxY + cornerRadius))

        path.closeSubpath()

    }

    color.set()

    let ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
    ctx!.setLineWidth(cornerRadius * 2.0)
    ctx!.setLineJoin(.round)

    ctx!.setAllowsAntialiasing(true)
    ctx!.setShouldAntialias(true)

    ctx!.addPath(path)
    ctx!.drawPath(using: .fillStroke)
}
}
