# UIGraphicsImageRendererContext

The drawing environment for an image renderer.

## Declaration

```swift
class UIGraphicsImageRendererContext
```

## Overview

Overview When using the UIGraphicsImageRenderer drawing methods, you must pass a block of type UIGraphicsImageRenderer.DrawingActions as an argument, which provides a UIGraphicsImageRendererContext instance as an argument. Use the context object to access high-level drawing functions and the underlying Core Graphics context. note: UIGraphicsImageRendererContext inherits much of its functionality from its abstract superclass UIGraphicsRendererContext. To learn how to use a UIGraphicsImageRendererContext object in combination with an image renderer, see Creating a graphics image renderer.
