FAQ

How does it work?

It's dead simple, it just overrides this method - (void)drawTextInRect:(CGRect)rect and makes the UILabel belives it is actually less wider as it is so the text is rendered in a smaller Rect balancing the number of words per line.

How does it look like?

Example 1 Example 2 Example 3

On IB or when creating UILabels, just make it an instance of DEVJACAutoBalancedLabel instead of `UILabel``

Swift version?

It is dead simple, just translate the code yourself! It takes more time to create the repo and push than to actually code it :P Maybe later.
