I have so far developed for Android. There, you can set layoutMargin and padding for almost every UI element (when you describe UI in xml file).
How is this done in code for UIViews in iOS (if there is a common command)?
Tnx

Layout margins provide a visual buffer between a view's content and any content outside of the view's bounds. The layout margins consist of inset values for each edge (top, bottom, leading, and trailing) of the view.
Padding refers to the space between UI elements. Padding is an alternative spacing method to keylines and is measured in increments of 8dp or 4dp. Padding can be measured both vertically and horizontally and does not need to span the whole height of a layout.
You need to use . padding modifier for margin. In your code, you have to add padding inside your ScrollView. After that, inside BoxViewTable, you need to add .
Margins are spaces that sit between content and the edges of the screen. They are defined with fixed width — usually 16 px, but some apps use 20 or 24 px margins. All the sizes of UI elements and spaces between them are set as a multiple of the number 8.
iOS employs a different approach to control placement - there's no layouting engine, you specify absolute coordinates and size for all controls. Kinda like the AbsoluteLayout in Android.
So the concepts of margin and padding don't really apply - the gaps between adjacent controls are completely up to you, they're not computed by the system. Same for sizes.
This makes it more difficult to implement the scenario of "make this control as large as it needs to be for its text". However, you won't run into rogue line wraps.
EDIT: AbsoluteLayout is deprecated these days.
