Add boundaries to a UIPangesture - ios

Question

I have a UILabel in a subview and I have a panGesture and pinchGesture on the UILabel. As of right now I can move the UILabel crossed all views. I want this UILabel do stay within the area of the subView. How would I accomplish this?
- (void)handlePanGesture:(UIPanGestureRecognizer *)panGesture {
CGPoint translation = [panGesture translationInView:panGesture.view.superview];
if (UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan == panGesture.state ||UIGestureRecognizerStateChanged == panGesture.state) {
panGesture.view.center = CGPointMake(panGesture.view.center.x + translation.x,
panGesture.view.center.y + translation.y);
[panGesture setTranslation:CGPointZero inView:self.view];
}
}
In this line,
CGPoint translation = [panGesture translationInView:panGesture.view.superview];
It is setting it to the superView and I am trying to set it to my subView but I can't seem to figure it out.

Here is my code to handle draggable button and restrict it to the main view boundary
I hope this code will help you
CGPoint translation = [recognizer translationInView:self.view];
CGRect recognizerFrame = recognizer.view.frame;
recognizerFrame.origin.x += translation.x;
recognizerFrame.origin.y += translation.y;
// Check if UIImageView is completely inside its superView
if (CGRectContainsRect(self.view.bounds, recognizerFrame)) {
recognizer.view.frame = recognizerFrame;
}
// Else check if UIImageView is vertically and/or horizontally outside of its
// superView. If yes, then set UImageView's frame accordingly.
// This is required so that when user pans rapidly then it provides smooth translation.
else {
// Check vertically
if (recognizerFrame.origin.y < self.view.bounds.origin.y) {
recognizerFrame.origin.y = 0;
}
else if (recognizerFrame.origin.y + recognizerFrame.size.height > self.view.bounds.size.height) {
recognizerFrame.origin.y = self.view.bounds.size.height - recognizerFrame.size.height;
}
// Check horizantally
if (recognizerFrame.origin.x < self.view.bounds.origin.x) {
recognizerFrame.origin.x = 0;
}
else if (recognizerFrame.origin.x + recognizerFrame.size.width > self.view.bounds.size.width) {
recognizerFrame.origin.x = self.view.bounds.size.width - recognizerFrame.size.width;
}
}
// Reset translation so that on next pan recognition
// we get correct translation value
[recognizer setTranslation:CGPointZero inView:self.view];
