# stopExecution(_:)

Allows you to perform custom tasks when the QCPlugIn object stops executing.

## Declaration

```swift
func stopExecution(_ context: (any QCPlugInContext)!)
```

## Parameters

- `context`: An opaque object , conforming to the doc://com.apple.quartz/documentation/Quartz/QCPlugInContext protocol, that represents the execution context of the QCPlugIn object. Do not retain this object or use it outside of the scope of this method.

## Discussion

Discussion The Quartz Composer engine calls this method when it stops executing. You can optionally override this execution method to perform cleanup tasks.
