如果你不想使用一个额外的父视图来设置背景，你可以子类化UILabel并重写textRectForBounds: limitedtonumberolines:。我会添加一个textEdgeInsets属性或类似的，然后做

- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds limitedToNumberOfLines:(NSInteger)numberOfLines
{
  return [super textRectForBounds:UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(bounds,textEdgeInsets) limitedToNumberOfLines:numberOfLines];
}

为了健壮性，你可能还想在setTextEdgeInsets:中调用[self setNeedsDisplay]，但我通常不这么做。

这适用于多行标签:

class PaddedLabel: UILabel {
    var verticalPadding: CGFloat = 0
    var horizontalPadding: CGFloat = 0

    override func drawText(in rect: CGRect) {
        let insets = UIEdgeInsets(top: verticalPadding, left: horizontalPadding, bottom: verticalPadding, right: horizontalPadding)
        super.drawText(in: UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, insets))
    }

    override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {
        get {
            let textWidth = super.intrinsicContentSize.width - horizontalPadding * 2
            let textHeight = sizeThatFits(CGSize(width: textWidth, height: .greatestFiniteMagnitude)).height
            let width = textWidth + horizontalPadding * 2
            let height = textHeight + verticalPadding * 2
            return CGSize(width: frame.width, height: height)
        }
    }
}

如果是单行，只需在左侧添加空格，超过一行的填充将再次为0。

[self.myLabel setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"   %@", self.myShortString]];

我认为UILabel类没有设置边距的方法。为什么不把标签的位置设置在需要的位置?

见下面的代码:

UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] init];
label.text = @"This is label";
label.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,100,100);

如果来自接口构建器，则按以下方式定位Label:

yourLabel.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,100,100);

也许过会儿再去派对，但下面的就行了。只是UILabel的子类。

#import "UITagLabel.h"

#define padding UIEdgeInsetsMake(5, 10, 5, 10)

@implementation UITagLabel

- (void)drawTextInRect:(CGRect)rect {
    [super drawTextInRect:UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, padding)];
}

- (CGSize) intrinsicContentSize {
    CGSize superContentSize = [super intrinsicContentSize];
    CGFloat width = superContentSize.width + padding.left + padding.right;
    CGFloat height = superContentSize.height + padding.top + padding.bottom;
    return CGSizeMake(width, height);
}

- (CGSize) sizeThatFits:(CGSize)size {
    CGSize superSizeThatFits = [super sizeThatFits:size];
    CGFloat width = superSizeThatFits.width + padding.left + padding.right;
    CGFloat height = superSizeThatFits.height + padding.top + padding.bottom;
    return CGSizeMake(width, height);
}

@end

要扩展Brody Robertson提供的答案，您可以添加IB可设计位。这意味着您可以在Storyboard中调整标签。

在你的子类UILabel做

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

IB_DESIGNABLE

@interface insetLabel : UILabel

@property (nonatomic, assign) IBInspectable CGFloat leftEdge;
@property (nonatomic, assign) IBInspectable CGFloat rightEdge;
@property (nonatomic, assign) IBInspectable CGFloat topEdge;
@property (nonatomic, assign) IBInspectable CGFloat bottomEdge;

@property (nonatomic, assign) UIEdgeInsets edgeInsets;

@end

然后做;

#import "insetLabel.h"

@implementation insetLabel

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self)
    {
        self.edgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(self.topEdge, self.leftEdge, self.bottomEdge, self.rightEdge);
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)drawTextInRect:(CGRect)rect
{
    self.edgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(self.topEdge, self.leftEdge, self.bottomEdge, self.rightEdge);

    [super drawTextInRect:UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, self.edgeInsets)];
}

- (CGSize)intrinsicContentSize
{
    CGSize size = [super intrinsicContentSize];
    size.width  += self.edgeInsets.left + self.edgeInsets.right;
    size.height += self.edgeInsets.top + self.edgeInsets.bottom;
    return size;
}

@end

EDIT

你应该为edgeInsets添加一个setter方法。
