    Actually the documentation is pretty clear about this:

    • setNeedsLayout will layout subviews

      Call this method on your application’s main thread when you want to adjust the layout of a view’s subviews.

    • setNeedsDisplay will call for a redraw of your view (drawRect:, etc).

      You can use this method or the setNeedsDisplayInRect: to notify the system that your view’s contents need to be redrawn.
