How to get UILabel (UITextView) auto adjusted font size?
<p>Is it possible to get final font size, after autoadjusting? (property adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth set to YES, and text font size is being shrinked to fit into the label)</p>

<p>I am subclassing drawTextInRect in UILabel to put gradient on the text, but the gradient size needs to be the same, as the size of the font. I am not able to get proper size of the adjusted font...Is it even possible?</p>

<pre><code>  //draw gradient

    CGContextSaveGState(myContext);
        CGGradientRef glossGradient;
        CGColorSpaceRef rgbColorspace;
        size_t num_locations = 2;
        CGFloat locations[2] = { 0.0, 1.0 };
        CGFloat components[8] = { 1, 1, 1, 0.25,  // BOTTOM color
            1, 1, 1, 0.12 }; // UPPER color

    //scale and translate so that text would not be rotated 180 deg wrong
        CGContextTranslateCTM(myContext, 0, rect.size.height);
        CGContextScaleCTM(myContext, 1.0, -1.0);

//create mask
        CGImageRef alphaMask = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(myContext);
        CGContextClipToMask(myContext, rect, alphaMask);

        rgbColorspace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
        glossGradient = CGGradientCreateWithColorComponents(rgbColorspace, components, locations, num_locations);

    //gradient should be sized to actual font size. THIS IS THE PROBLEM - EVEN IF FONT IS AUTO ADUJSTED, I AM GETTING THE SAME ORIGINAL FONT SIZE!!!

        CGFloat fontCapHeightHalf = (self.font.capHeight/2)+5;
            CGRect currentBounds = rect;
        CGPoint topCenter = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(currentBounds), CGRectGetMidY(currentBounds)-fontCapHeightHalf);
        CGPoint midCenter = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(currentBounds), CGRectGetMidY(currentBounds)+fontCapHeightHalf);

        CGContextDrawLinearGradient(myContext, glossGradient, topCenter, midCenter, 0);

        CGGradientRelease(glossGradient);
        CGColorSpaceRelease(rgbColorspace);
    CGContextRestoreGState(myContext);
