# init(image:)

Initialize an element that is constituted of an image.

```
init(image: UIImage)
```

## Parameters

`image`

The image associated to the element.

## Discussion

When providing an image, your app should provide a @c UIImage that is display-ready. If necessary for the image, provide
light and dark styles by using an asset from your asset catalog, prepared with light and dark styles
or by using @c UIImageAsset to combine two @c UIImage instances into a single image with
both styles.

UIImageAsset is used to combine multiple UIImages with different trait collections into a single UIImage.

\note The expected image size is given by +[CPListImageRowItemGridElement maximumImageSize]. Images provided will be resized to this size if necessary.
\discussion To properly size your images, your app should size them to the display scale of the car screen.
See -[CPInterfaceController carTraitCollection].
