# QLThumbnailRequestFlushContext(_:_:)

Flush the graphics context and sets the thumbnail response.

## Declaration

```swift
func QLThumbnailRequestFlushContext(_ thumbnail: QLThumbnailRequest!, _ context: CGContext!)
```

## Parameters

- `context`: The graphics context to flush.

## Discussion

Discussion You should call this method after drawing in the graphics context created by QLThumbnailRequestCreateContext(_:_:_:_:). Special Considerations Thread-safety: This function should be called in the same thread as the thumbnail request is made in; generally, this is the same thread in which the GenerateThumbnailForURL callback was invoked.
