# init(_:)

Creates a new MLShapedArraySlice using a MLMultiArray as a backing storage.

## Declaration

```swift
init(_ multiArray: MLMultiArray)
```

## Parameters

- `multiArray`: The MLMultiArray object.

## Discussion

Discussion Use this initializer to access MLMultiArray through MLShapedArray interface. Mutating operations trigger copy-on-write. Non-mutating operations access the MLMultiArray’s backing storage including the pixel buffer.
