# draw()

Redraws the view’s contents immediately.

## Declaration

```swift
func draw()
```

## Discussion

Discussion This method manually tells the view to redraw its contents. Calling this method causes the view to call either the draw(in:) method of the view’s delegate, or the draw(_:) method of the MTKView subclass. Never call this method inside either drawing function.
