title: iOS - Shadow spread on UILabel
body: <p>I want to increase the spread of a shadow in my UILabel but I can't find the property to do that. I have added a photo below to illustrate the issue.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/q9p4B.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/q9p4B.jpg" alt="An example of the desired label shadow, and the current one."></a></p>
  
  <p>The top Label is the desired effect I am able to create in Photoshop. The bottom Label illustrates the properties I was able to find in iOS. Here is the code I used for the bottom Label.</p>
  
  <pre><code>let bottomLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, maxWidth, 18))
  bottomLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
  bottomLabel.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
  bottomLabel.font = UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(16)
  bottomLabel.text = title
  bottomLabel.textAlignment = .Center
  bottomLabel.numberOfLines = 1
  bottomLabel.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: 0)
  bottomLabel.layer.shadowOpacity = 1
  bottomLabel.layer.shadowRadius = 2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I did find a suggestion to use a second label as a shadow but this did not give the desired result. Here is the code for that Label.</p>
  
  <pre><code>let bottomLabelShadow = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(0, 1, maxWidth, 18)) 
  bottomLabelShadow.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
  bottomLabelShadow.textColor = UIColor.blackColor()
  bottomLabelShadow.font = UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(16)
  bottomLabelShadow.text = title
  bottomLabelShadow.textAlignment = .Center
  bottomLabelShadow.numberOfLines = 1
  bottomLabelShadow.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: 0)
  bottomLabelShadow.layer.shadowOpacity = 1
  bottomLabelShadow.layer.shadowRadius = 2
  </code></pre>
