The solution, I beg to offer, is not to put THIRTEEN choices into a UIActionSheet. It's not designed to handle that many well, and humans aren't designed to use it. Find another way to structure your application.
If they are nouns or adjectives, put them into some sort of table view. If they are verbs, organize them into categories of verbs that have the same general effect, but need parameters to distinguish among them; and put the parameters into a modal view. (Example: [Line Over], [Line Left], [Line Under], [Line Right] should become [Line], and a view where you can check Over, Left, Under, Right, then tap [Cancel] or [Done]. Either Cancel or Done takes you back to where you were before the sheet came up.)
Thirteen buttons isn't wrong as a matter of taste. It's wrong as a matter of human engineering. You'll have to re-evaluate what you're doing.
