# show(from:)

Displays an action sheet that originates from the specified tab bar.

```
func show(from view: UITabBar)
```

## Parameters

`view`

The tab bar from which the action sheet originates.

## Discussion

The appearance of the action sheet is animated.

On iPad, this method centers the action sheet in the middle of the screen. Generally, if you want to present an action sheet relative to a tab bar in an iPad application, you should use the [`show(from:in:animated:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UIActionSheet/show(from:in:animated:)) method instead.
