NSImage and NSImageView problem

[daltonclaybrook]

I have a PNG image file that I would like to display inside an NSImageView that is literally 3px x 3px. It's tiny. I would like for the NSImageView to scale the image to fit inside the whole view, but it seems that either the NSImage or the NSImageView attempts to improve the resolution of my image, and I would prefer to display it using the image's native resolution.

This is how I would like the image to appear:


and this is how it displays the image currently:

NSImageView has a setImageScaling method:

The possible values for this parameter are:

NSScaleProportionally. If the image is too large, it shrinks to fit inside the frame. The proportions of the image are preserved. The image is never scaled up to fit a larger frame.

NSScaleToFit. The image shrinks or expands, and its proportions distort, until it exactly fits the frame.

NSScaleNone. The size and proportions of the image don’t change. If the frame is too small to display the whole image, the edges of the image are trimmed off.

None of those fix my issue.

You could have a go at resizing the image itself, then, before adding it to the NSImageView.
