This works when the window is first shown, but it doesn't handle resizing well. When I have it set to not expand and I shrink the window to smaller than the tile view's initial size, its tiles get squished out of proportion (so far I'm trying to get square tiles).

Here's some old code of mine that ensures its window's main view remains square, by always preserving the difference between the window's height and width. This goes in the window's delegate object:


- (NSSize)windowWillResize:(NSWindow *)sender toSize:(NSSize)frameSize
{
// This will get called _before_ awakeFromNib if frame default has been set!
if( _extraHeight == 0.0 ) {
NSRect frame = [_window frame];
_extraHeight = frame.size.height - frame.size.width;
} else {
frameSize.height = frameSize.width + _extraHeight;
}
return frameSize;
}


There's also the issue of the grid dimensions been magic numbers. I want an initialization method where I provide the grid width, grid height, and tile size. It's just that I can't see where I'd be able to call that since it appears I can only access my tile view through Interface Builder. This is especially troublesome if I want to have more than one tile view, such where I have a main view screen and a mini-map.

Yeah, you can't use initialization methods with objects in nibs. You can implement -awakeFromNib on the view subclass, or on an app/window controller that will then tell the view to set itself up.
