Draw NSBitmapImageRep in NSImageView

Question

How can I draw a NSBitmapImageRep in a NSImageView?

Answer 1

NSImage *im = [[[NSImage alloc] init] autorelease];
[im addRepresentation:bitmapRep];
[imageView setImage:im];

Answer 2

Pretty easy:

NSImage *image = [[NSImage alloc] initWithCGImage:[bitmapRep CGImage] size:NSMakeSize(width,height)];

Then:

[imageView setImage:image];

Another possibility is by turning it into a TIFF ( - (NSData *)TIFFRepresentation ) and using that to create the NSImage object, but that could create quite some overhead.

Also keep in mind that the method of NSBitmapImageRep - (CGImageRef)CGImage is 10.5 or higher.
