Embedding subview in main view Swift

If you look at this image (I don't want to upload it, as it does not belong to me), you will see what appears to be a uiview inside the main uiview controller in the settings app of an iPad. My question is, how do I replicate this programatically? In other words, how do I embed a UIView in another?

Here's what I know and have done:

Here's what I need:

Here's what I have so far:

 @IBAction func buttonPressedSpawnSubview(sender: AnyObject) {
    //Open a subview from Interface builder.
}
@IBAction func closeButtonPressedSpawnSubview(sender: AnyObject) {
        //kill the subview.

Can someone help me figure out how fill in the commented lines?

What you are seeing is a modal UIView on top of another view.

An example from within your visible ViewController would be:

    self.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyle.FlipHorizontal // Choose whatever transition you want
    self.modalPresentationStyle = .CurrentContext // Display on top of current UIView
    self.presentViewController(yourNewViewObject, animated: true, completion: nil)
