For a bitmap image, -setSize: effectively alters the DPI of the pixels but doesn't actually create a new bitmap of a different size. So for a 72dpi image, the NSBitmapImageRep's -width and -height methods should give you the same values as for the image's -size method. But for a 300dpi image, for example, you'd expect the -width and -height values to be about 4x larger than the -size value.

Maybe something like this would do what you want?

NSImage* originalIcon = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] iconForFile:filePath];
NSRect resizedBounds = NSMakeRect(0, 0, 384, 384);
NSImage* resizedIcon = [[[NSImage alloc] resizedBounds.size] autorelease];

[resizedIcon lockFocus];
[originalIcon drawInRect:resizedBounds fromRect:NSZeroRect operation:NSCompositeCopy fraction:1.0];
[resizedIcon unlockFocus];

NSBitmapImageRep* bitmapImage = [[resizedIcon representations] objectAtIndex:0]; [[bitmapImage representationUsingType:NSJPEGFileType properties:dict] writeToFile:destPath atomically:YES];

Probably safer to iterate the representation(s) and actually add a check to see that bitmapImage really is one before actually using it, just in case another representation is created.

hi
in my application i need to resize a .jpg image through a command line

my code is

NSImage *icon = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] iconForFile:filePath]; // get
icon from the file at filePath destination

NSSize imageSize;

imageSize.width = 384.0;  // in points (384 pts = 512 px )

imageSize.height = 384.0;


[icon setSize:imageSize]; // set image size


NSData  * tiffData = [icon TIFFRepresentation];

bitmapImageRep = [NSBitmapImageRep imageRepWithData:tiffData];

[[bitmapImageRep representationUsingType:NSJPEGFileType properties:dict] writeToFile:destPath atomically:YES]; // write it to a file path stored in
destPath


this code is not altering the size at all

i cant create a NSView as its a command line app

any suggestions ??? how to resize it??
