Remove UILabel padding

Question

If it were a TextView I could do

self.textView.textContainer.lineFragmentPadding = 0;

But what I have is a multiline label. How do I remove the padding?

If you're using iOS 8, try changing the insets value of layoutMargins property. If it doesn't work or you're targeting earlier versions, look at this answer.

NSMutableParagraphStyle has an attribute called lineSpacing. Try adding this attribute to an attributed string and setting the label's attributedText

you can try this：

let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: str)
let paragraphStyle = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
paragraphStyle.lineHeightMultiple = 0.75 //or other values you like
attributedString.addAttribute(
    NSAttributedString.Key.paragraphStyle,
    value: paragraphStyle,
    range: NSMakeRange(0, str.count)

Answer 5

I recommend to change your UILabel into UITextView and put this code.

yourTextView.textContainerInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0,0,0,0);

don't forget to set yourTextView

yourTextView.editable = NO
yourTextView.scrollEnabled = NO
