Objective C - UILabel multiline vertical gap height

Question

Hi,

I have a multiline UILabel that can take a maximum of 3 lines. i.e message.numberOfLines = 3;

Everything works fine, but how can I set the vertical gap between the lines? e.g between line 1 and line 2 etc?

Please enlight, Tee

I haven't been able to find a way to adjust the spacing between lines. The font property of UILabel has a number of read-only properties, so that won't help.

I've resorted to draw my own text if I want to change the line spacing. I use NSString's -drawAtPoint and -drawInRect and use one or more of the -sizeWithFont methods to figure out how long the text will be in order to split the text and draw the right number of words or characters per line.
