I have simple View based application. I had taken only `UILabel` on it. 

Following is my code in viewDidLoad: 

```
lblBack.textColor = [UIColor blueColor];

UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed:@"cn3.png"];
lblBack.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:img];
lblBack.text = @"Hello World!!!...";

//    UIImageView *imgView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:img];
//    
//    CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, lblBack.frame.size.width, lblBack.frame.size.height);
//    [imgView setFrame:rect];
//    NSLog(@"Rect : %@",NSStringFromCGRect(rect));
//    [img drawInRect:rect];
//    imgView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
//    imgView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
//    imgView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleToFill;
//    [lblBack addSubview:imgView];

```

Comments shows some of the things that i have tried. I am getting following output:

In this one image is repeated 3 times. But I want that image should be stretched to fill the Label width.

I have referred some of the previous links that shows me to add Image in background and use `clearColor` for `UILabel`. Also seen example of Adding custom view in Background. But all this I dont want to use unless I dont have other solutions... 

I just want to perform all things on `UILabel` only.... no other control except `UIImage` or `UIImageView` i want to use..
