# VZGraphicsDevice

A class that represents a graphics device in a VM.

## Declaration

```swift
class VZGraphicsDevice
```

## Overview

Overview You don’t instantiate a VZGraphicsDevice directly. Graphics devices are first configured on the VZVirtualMachineConfiguration through a subclass of VZGraphicsDeviceConfiguration. When the framework creates a VZVirtualMachine from the configuration, the graphics devices are available through the graphicsDevices property. The real type of VZGraphicsDevice corresponds to the type used by the configuration. For example, a VZVirtioGraphicsDeviceConfiguration leads to a device of type VZVirtioGraphicsDevice and a VZMacGraphicsDeviceConfiguration leads to a device of type VZMacGraphicsDevice.
