# forLastBaselineLayout

Returns a view used to satisfy last baseline constraints.

```
var forLastBaselineLayout: UIView { get }
```

## Discussion

For views with multiple rows of text, the last baseline is the baseline for the bottommost row.

When you make a constraint to a view’s [`NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.lastBaseline`](/documentation/UIKit/NSLayoutConstraint/Attribute/lastBaseline) attribute, Auto Layout uses the baseline of the view returned by this method. If that view does not have a baseline, Auto Layout uses the view’s bottom edge.

Override this property to return a text-based subview (for example, [`UILabel`](/documentation/UIKit/UILabel) or a nonscrolling [`UITextView`](/documentation/UIKit/UITextView)). The returned view must be a subview of the receiver. The default implementation returns the receiving view.
