# init(view:parameters:)

Initializes a new drag item preview with a view and with a set of appearance parameters.

## Declaration

```swift
init(view: UIView, parameters: UIDragPreviewParameters)
```

## Parameters

- `view`: A doc://com.apple.uikit/documentation/UIKit/UIView object representing the drag item.
- `parameters`: A doc://com.apple.uikit/documentation/UIKit/UIDragPreviewParameters object containing appearance parameters for the drag item preview.

## Return Value

Return Value A drag preview that is based on the specified view and has specific appearance parameters.

## Discussion

Discussion Use this method to display a custom drag item preview based on the provided view and appearance parameters. The appearance parameters specify display options for the preview, such as a background color and a Bézier path of the visible area of the provided view. The appearance parameters affect only the display of the preview, and not the provided view. The drag item preview uses a snapshot of the view for the display, and it never changes or moves the view.
