Parent Justification

Top and Bottom Justification

For parentRelativeTop justification, the top and bottom fields of viewBounds are measured from the top of the parent (see FIGURE 5.15). For parentRelativeBottom justification, they are measured from the bottom of the parent (see FIGURE 5.16) and thus are usually negative.

You can use any combination of vertical and horizontal justification on a view--they are independent of each other. FIGURE 5.17 shows an example of four child views, each with different combinations of parentRelativeTop, parentRelativeBottom, parentRelativeLeft, and parentRelativeRight.
