Just use PDF, its open, it works, its resolution independent. (I

For file and application icons (shown in the finder), well, I
haven't tried to use PDF, I always assumed it wanted icns files...
In my last tests (admittedly in an NSImage(View) where I combined
several NSImages into one whole one, PDF was abysmally slow,
though. Pixel formats have the advantage of rendering a lot faster
(no surprise there). It's not that important for dynamic stuff like
bounding boxes, but for more complex stuff like images I wouldn't
yet recommend PDF. But try it out yourself. That was a while ago
and I had to be backwards compatible with 10.3 -- YMMV.
Yea, the caching of the initial render of the PDF is just as fast as
rendering a straight bitmap AFAIKT, in my tests its been just fine
using everything except icns files as PDFs.
The other benefit is when you turn up the UI scaling, its scales
beautifully. (I'm already ready for the future with basically no effort)
