Thanks - and yeah, I'm trying to avoid calculation. And just to clarify, if I need to do some manual calculation, would I be using frames, etc? "Frame" feels like such a dirty word in autolayout world; is there something else specific to autolayout (like intrinsic size - obviously not in this case) ...
Also, if I need to do some manual calculation, would I do that in the view's layoutSubviews - and would I remove and create constraints in that method also - and then tell them to lay themselves out again from that method as well? Back to the original question, do I misunderstand priorities? Can these act as weights at all ... or does the highest priority just win? Thanks.
