tiff from NSImage, at 300 dpi

I am trying to take a PDF vector object (designed for 72 dpi), redraw it into an NSImage for 300 dpi, and then export it as either a TIFF or PNG.

The good news is that the rendering works and I get high definition bit maps. For example, the original PDF image had a point size of 533 x 283 (@ 72 dpi), and my bitmap is 2221 x 1180 pixels. The bad news is that the bitmap is 72 dpi, and I cannot figure out how to change it to 300 dpi.

I create my own bitmap, set its pixels to the larger size, and set its size to the smaller size. But this does not seem to affect the resolution in the tiff file. I also have tried using setPixelsHigh and Wide on the NSBitmapImageRep, but no affect.

Any ideas?

Todd



orig_size is set to PDF's origin 533 x 722
big_size scales the orig_size by 300/72.

// Create NSImage and NSBitmapImageRep
big_image = [[NSImage alloc] initWithSize: big_size];
bitmap=[[NSBitmapImageRep alloc]
initWithBitmapDataPlanes:NULL
pixelsWide:big_size.width // the big 2221 pixels
pixelsHigh:big_size.height // the big 1180 pixels
bitsPerSample:1
samplesPerPixel:1
hasAlpha:NO
isPlanar:NO
colorSpaceName:NSCalibratedWhiteColorSpace
bytesPerRow:0
bitsPerPixel:0];
[bitmap setSize: orig_size]; // the small 533 x 283
[big_image addRepresentation:bitmap];
[big_image setCacheMode:NSImageCacheNever];

// Build view
tmp_view = [[Pdf2PngView alloc] initWithFrame: view_rect];
[tmp_view setImage: pdf_data];

// Have the view draw using the big_image
[big_image lockFocus];
[tmp_view drawRect: view_rect];
[big_image unlockFocus];

// Get bitmap representation
data2 = [big_image TIFFRepresentation];
[data2 writeToFile: [sheet filename] atomically: YES];
