# init(arrangedSubviews:)

Returns a new stack view object that manages the provided views.

## Declaration

```swift
convenience init(arrangedSubviews views: [UIView])
```

## Parameters

- `views`: The views to be arranged by the stack view.

## Return Value

Return Value A new stack view object. This stack view contains and lays out the provided views in a single stack. You can modify the orientation or appearance of this stack, using the stack view’s properties.

## Discussion

Discussion The stack view adds all the arranged views to its arrangedSubviews array. It also adds these views as subviews. If any view contained in the arrangedSubviews array receives a removeFromSuperview() method call, the stack view also removes it from the arrangedSubviews.
