Answer 1

Dhiren try this code :

    UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed:@"cab.png"];
    CGSize imgSize = testLabel.frame.size;

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext( imgSize );
    [img drawInRect:CGRectMake(0,0,imgSize.width,imgSize.height)];
    UIImage* newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    testLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:newImage];

I have tested this code.

Porting over Maulik's answer to Swift 2.2, you get the following code:

var img: UIImage = UIImage(named: "cabImage")!
var imgSize: CGSize = testLabel.frame.size

UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(imgSize)

img.drawInRect(CGRectMake(0, 0, imgSize.width, imgSize.height))
var newImage: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()

UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

testLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor(patternImage: newImage)

Personally tested to be working!
