# show(in:)

Displays an action sheet that originates from the specified view.

```
func show(in view: UIView)
```

## Parameters

`view`

The view 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 in an iPad application, you should use the [`show(from:in:animated:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UIActionSheet/show(from:in:animated:)) method to display the action sheet instead.
