# LayerRenderer.State.paused

A state that indicates the layer is paused and not currently drawing.

```
case paused
```

## Discussion

A layer starts in this state and later transitions to other states over time. Don’t run your render loop or do any drawing while in this state. Wait until the layer changes to one of the other states to take further action.
