How to adjust font size of label to fit the rectangle?

Question

Yeah, there\'s this cool myLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES; property. But as soon as the label has two lines or more, it won\'t resize the text to anythin

Here's Swift version according to @NielsCastle answer, using binary search

extension UILabel{

    func adjustFontSizeToFitRect(rect : CGRect){

        if text == nil{
            return
        }

        frame = rect

        let maxFontSize: CGFloat = 100.0
        let minFontSize: CGFloat = 5.0

        var q = Int(maxFontSize)
        var p = Int(minFontSize)

        let constraintSize = CGSize(width: rect.width, height: CGFloat.max)

        while(p <= q){
            let currentSize = (p + q) / 2
            font = font.fontWithSize( CGFloat(currentSize) )
            let text = NSAttributedString(string: self.text!, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName:font])
            let textRect = text.boundingRectWithSize(constraintSize, options: .UsesLineFragmentOrigin, context: nil)

            let labelSize = textRect.size

            if labelSize.height < frame.height && labelSize.height >= frame.height-10 && labelSize.width < frame.width && labelSize.width >= frame.width-10 {
                break
            }else if labelSize.height > frame.height || labelSize.width > frame.width{
                q = currentSize - 1
            }else{
                p = currentSize + 1
            }
        }

    }
}

Usage

label.adjustFontSizeToFitRect(rect)

often just

label.adjustFontSizeToFitRect(rect.frame)
