# init(referenceView:)

## Declaration

```swift
init(referenceView view: UIView)
```

## Parameters

- `view`: The view for the dynamic animator, called the reference view.

## Return Value

Return Value The initialized dynamic animator, or nil if there was a problem initializing the object.

## Discussion

Discussion When you initialize a dynamic animator with this method, the behaviors (and their dynamic items) that you add to the animator employ the reference view’s coordinate system.
