# reset()

Overridden to reset the internal state of the gesture recognizer when an attempt completes.

## Declaration

```swift
func reset()
```

## Discussion

Discussion AppKit calls this method after the gesture recognizer state has been set to any of the terminal states: NSGestureRecognizer.State.ended, NSGestureRecognizer.State.cancelled, NSGestureRecognizer.State.failed, or recognized. Subclasses should override this method and use it to reset any internal state of the gesture recognizer in preparation for a new recognition attempt. After this method is called, the gesture recognizer receives no further updates for events that began but have not yet ended.
