Using the frame - however if I change IB to show alignment rect, I get the same dimensions, although that may be IB lying to me. I’ve tried setting the layout margins on the UILabels to zero, that didn’t make a difference. There’s no baselineRelativeArrangement or spacing properties set on the stack view either. I would expect if it were alignment rect then the frames would overlap (they do) but I would also expect the frames all to be offset by the same amount from the top edge. What actually happens is the topmost label’s top edge is flush to the top edge of the stack, the bottom label’s bottom edge is flush to the bottom edge of the stack. Since they are all a little too high, that means the top label’s text is about 8 pixels low, the bottom one’s is 8px high and the label in the middle is correct. When you add enough of them, the effect is disturbingly obvious. I’ll stick with the label in a view code which seems to work and I can even then align either the label center or baseline to the center of the view, haven’t decided which looks nicer yet. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
