I had to laugh when I read this -- you found yet another meaning of "content" for the discussion, so now we have 3. Here's the hierarchy, disambiguated:

	window (NSWindow) > window content view (NSView) > scroll view (NSScrollView) > scroll content view (NSClipView) > document view (whatever view sub-hierarchy you want, but a solitary NSImageView in this case) > document view contents (whatever you want, but NSImage in this case, not a view, just graphical stuff)

The terminology actually makes sense -- the window consists of a content view, surrounded by window frame widgetry; the scroll view consists of a content view, surrounded by scroll widgetry -- but it would be less confusion-prone if the scroll content view was just called the clip view instead.

[NSImage drawInRect...] with a suitably sized destination rect -- see below. As I said before, you can't do this with a standard NSImageView -- you do it within 'drawRect:' of a custom NSView.

It's as simple as:

	[myImage drawInRect: dstRect fromRect: NSZeroRect operation: NSCompositeSourceOver fraction: 1.0];

You do have to calculate dstRect first. Its size comes from [myImage size] combined with the current display scale factor. Its origin should be chosen to position the image so as to occupy the entire view, OR as desired within the view *when it's smaller than the view*. Note that the image is never larger than the view -- you always size the view to be at least as large as the image, so that the scroll bars, in traversing the entire view, also traverse the entire image.
