# init(fromValue:)

Returns an anchor object from the provided anchor value.

```
convenience init(fromValue value: Int)
```

## Parameters

`value`

An anchor value.

## Return Value

An anchored object corresponding to the same sample as the anchor value.

## Discussion

Prior to iOS 9.0, anchored object queries used anchor values to track the last sample returned by a previous query. Use this method to convert those anchor values into anchor objects.
