Actually, the image displayed in the imageview IS a bitmap (chached version of the PDF). I am afraid you have to draw the whole PDF at 10x the size of MyImageView into an image and then clip the rect from there. This way, you force the (new) NSImage to fetch the PDF data again and render it at the enlarged size.

Greetings,

Hello,

In my app I have an NSImageView displaying a PDF file. I'd like the user to
be able to extract a rectangular region from the displayed PDF and view it
at 10x normal size.

MyImageView is a subclass of NSImageView, defined below (zoomImageView is an
outlet to an NSImageView contained in a panel.)

The problem is that, although this *does* extract the rectangular region
between mouseDown (the upper-left corner) and mouseUp (the lower-right
corner) and displays it in the zoomImageView, it's extremely jagged...
Almost as if the PDF data is merely a PDF wrapper containing the screen
bitmap. What do I need to do in order to get the "real" PDF data so that I
can scale the region smoothly?

Thanks,

Jason


@implementation MyImageView

-(void)mouseDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
downPoint = [self convertPoint: [theEvent locationInWindow] fromView:
nil];
}


-(void) mouseUp: (NSEvent *)theEvent
{
upPoint = [self convertPoint: [theEvent locationInWindow] fromView:
nil];
NSImage *img =
[[NSImage alloc] initWithData:
[self dataWithPDFInsideRect: NSMakeRect( downPoint.x, upPoint.y,
upPoint.x -
downPoint.x,
downPoint.y -
upPoint.y)]];

[zoomImageView setImage: img];
[img release];
[zoomPanel makeKeyAndOrderFront: self];
[zoomImageView setNeedsDisplay: YES];
}
@end
