# Basalt ## stopUpdate / stop Stops the automatic draw and event handler which got started by `basalt.autoUpdate()`. `basalt.autoUpdate(false)` also does the same. ### Usage * When the quit button is clicked, the button stops basalt's event listeners and draw handlers ```lua local main = basalt.createFrame() main:addButton() :setPosition(2,2) :setText("Stop Basalt!") :onClick(function() basalt.stopUpdate() end) basalt.autoUpdate() ```
