Print / Save an NSView in a given size

Hello,

how can I print / save the content of an NSView in a given size (e.g. 3 x 3cm)?

My problem is the following:

 I draw a square in the drawRect:-method with:
[NSBezierPath fillRect:NSMakeRect(100, 100, 200, 200)];

Now it should be possible to:

1. save it as PDF / EPS with the square having the size of exactly 3 x 3cm,
2. save it as TIFF with choosing the resolution in dpi, with the square having the size of exactly 3 x 3cm,
3. print the square in exactly 3 x 3 cm size.


I searched a lot in the Apple Documentation and in online forums, but it hasn't cleared anything for me. I don't get the idea of it? Do I have to use a transformation or is there a totally different but very easy method for that?

The saving as PDF / TIFF / EPS and printing is not the problem! That was very easy. The only problem is the size of the vector-object in the PDF / EPS, the size of the TIFF and the printed size...
Thanks very much for your help
