Swift UIlabels not showing properly in uistackview

Question

I am trying to programatically add uilabels into a stackview but for some reason it is not showing up properly. Here is what I have:

let label = UILabel()
label.textColor = UIColor.black
label.text = "Text that goes before "

let matlabel = MTMathUILabel()
matlabel.labelMode = MTMathUILabelMode.text
matlabel.latex = "$\\frac{x}{y}$"
matlabel.textColor = UIColor.black

let endLabel = UILabel()
label.textColor = UIColor.black
label.text = "? after"

self.textStack.addArrangedSubview(label)
self.textStack.addArrangedSubview(matlabel)      
self.textStack.addArrangedSubview(endLabel) 

And here is what I get

Answer 1

You create a "endLabel" but you didn't set text on it. You mistakenly set text on "label" so it just override your "label" text. try the following code:

let label = UILabel()
label.textColor = UIColor.black
label.text = "Text that goes before "

let matlabel = MTMathUILabel()
matlabel.labelMode = MTMathUILabelMode.text
matlabel.latex = "$\\frac{x}{y}$"
matlabel.textColor = UIColor.black

let endLabel = UILabel()
endLabel.textColor = UIColor.black
endLabel.text = "? after"

self.textStack.addArrangedSubview(label)
self.textStack.addArrangedSubview(matlabel)      
self.textStack.addArrangedSubview(endLabel) 

Answer 2

Well, I think what you wanted to really do was:

self.textStack.addArrangedSubview(label)
self.textStack.addArrangedSubview(matlabel)   
self.textStack.addArrangedSubview(endLabel)

But, to your point, the "label" is not appearing. Have you tried setting the alignment and distribution?
