[`- (BOOL) scalesWhenResized;`](/documentation/AppKit/NSImage/scalesWhenResized) Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether to scale image representations to fit the image’s size. [`- (void) setDataRetained:(BOOL) flag;`](/documentation/AppKit/NSImage/setDataRetained:) Sets whether the image retains its source image data. [`- (BOOL) isDataRetained;`](/documentation/AppKit/NSImage/isDataRetained) Returns a Boolean value that incidates whether the image retains its source image data. [`- (void) setCachedSeparately:(BOOL) flag;`](/documentation/AppKit/NSImage/setCachedSeparately:) Sets whether each image representation uses a separate offscreen window to cache its contents.
