When you say "optional," I assume you're okay with always reserving the space for that label? Otherwise this isn't easy in spring s-and-struts _or_ auto layout. > - The width of the buttons always the same. Add equal width constraints to all the buttons.

Define the height of your buttons using constraints that relate by some multiplier to the height of your superview. Sadly, you can't do this in IB. (It would be worth filing a bug!) 2. Leave the height of your views undefined and let their height be defined by the margins relative to the superview. > > Seems like this should be a straightforward use of auto layout, but I > can't > seem to get to a solution that does not have a very large number of > constraints, which are very finicky if you try to adjust them. > > It's also very difficult to start with a row of three buttons, say, get > that right, then duplicate that row and add/fix up constraints?
