Class

IKImageView

The IKImageView class provides an efficient way to display images in a view while at the same time supporting a number of image editing operations such as rotating, zooming, and cropping. It supports drag and drop for the NSFilenamesPboardType flavor so that the user can drag an image to the view. If possible, image rendering uses hardware acceleration to achieve optimal performance. The IKImageView class is implemented as a subclass of NSView. Similar to NSImageView, the IKImageView class is used to display a single image.

Declaration

class IKImageView : NSView

Overview

You can provide an images for the view in any of these formats:

File reference (NSURL, CFURL, or a path)
CGImageSource
Data (NSData or CFData)
Image (CGImage or CIImage)

Providing a file reference is the preferred way to set the the image for a view because in addition to the actual image data, IKImageView also handles the image metadata embedded in the file. The image view automatically fetches the metadata from a file reference, whereas for the other sources (except for a CGImageSource source), it cannot. For images set from other sources, you need to set the metadata separately.

IKImageView supports multi-frame images (TIFF, GIF, and so forth) and animated images.
