Set UILabel line spacing

Question

How can I modify the gap between lines (line spacing) in a multiline UILabel?

Of course, Mike's answer doesn't work if you pass the string programmatically. In this case you need to pass a attributed string and change it's style.

NSMutableAttributedString * attrString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Your \nregular \nstring"];
NSMutableParagraphStyle *style = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init];
[style setLineSpacing:4];
[attrString addAttribute:NSParagraphStyleAttributeName
                   value:style
                   range:NSMakeRange(0, attrString.length)];
_label.attributedText = attrString;
