Here are a few common ways to specify the layout of elements in UIView:

  • Using InterfaceBuilder, we can add a XIB file to our project, layout elements within it, and then load XIB in our application code (either automatically, based on naming conventions, or manually). Also, using InterfaceBuilder, we can create a storyboard for our application.
  • We can write our own code to use NSLayoutConstraints and have elements in a view arranged by Auto Layout.
  • We can create CGRects describing the exact coordinates for each element and pass them to UIView’s (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame method.
