# UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

Removes the current bitmap-based graphics context from the top of the stack.

## Declaration

```swift
func UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
```

## Discussion

Discussion You use this function to clean up the drawing environment put in place by the UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(_:) function and to remove the corresponding bitmap-based graphics context from the top of the stack. If the current context was not created using the UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(_:) function, this function does nothing. This function may be called from any thread of your app.
