.m file

    - (id)initwithframe:(cgrect)frame     {         self = [super initwithframe:frame];          if (self){               //property in header file can add custom insets per instance of class                  self.edgeinsets = uiedgeinsetsmake(0, 0, 0, 0);         }          return self;     }        -(void)drawtextinrect:(cgrect)rect     {         [super drawtextinrect:uiedgeinsetsinsetrect(rect, self.edgeinsets)];     }  /* work auto layout */      -(cgsize)intrinsiccontentsize     {         cgsize size = [super intrinsiccontentsize];         size.width += self.edgeinsets.left + self.edgeinsets.right;         size.height += self.edgeinsets.top + self.edgeinsets.bottom;          if (self.numberoflines == 0){               //there bug intrinsice content              //size may 1 point short                size.height += 1;            }          return size;     }
