class Cocoa Controls MBS MacCocoa Plugin 10.0 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
An NSImageCell object displays a single image (encapsulated in an NSImage object) in a frame.

This class provides methods for choosing the frame and for aligning and scaling the image to fit the frame.

The object value of an NSImageCell object must be an NSImage object, so if you use the setObjectValue: method of NSCell, be sure to supply an NSImage object as an argument. Because an NSImage object does not need to be converted for display, do not use the NSCell methods relating to formatters.

An NSImageCell object is usually associated with some kind of control object—an NSImageView, an NSMatrix, or an NSTableView.
Subclass of the NSCellMBS class.

Constants

Constant Value Description
NSImageAlignBottom 5 One of the constants to specify the location of the image in the frame using the imageAlignment property. Align the image with the bottom edge of the cell.
NSImageAlignBottomLeft 6 One of the constants to specify the location of the image in the frame using the imageAlignment property. Align the image with the bottom and left edges of the cell.
NSImageAlignBottomRight 7 One of the constants to specify the location of the image in the frame using the imageAlignment property. Align the image with the bottom and right edges of the cell.
NSImageAlignCenter 0 One of the constants to specify the location of the image in the frame using the imageAlignment property. Center the image in the cell.
NSImageAlignLeft 4 One of the constants to specify the location of the image in the frame using the imageAlignment property. Align the image with the left edge of the cell.
NSImageAlignRight 8 One of the constants to specify the location of the image in the frame using the imageAlignment property. Position the image along the right edge of the cell.
NSImageAlignTop 1 One of the constants to specify the location of the image in the frame using the imageAlignment property. Position the image along the top edge of the cell.
NSImageAlignTopLeft 2 One of the constants to specify the location of the image in the frame using the imageAlignment property. Align the image with the top and left edges of the cell.
NSImageAlignTopRight 3 One of the constants to specify the location of the image in the frame using the imageAlignment property. Align the image with the top and right edges of the cell.
NSImageFrameButton 4 One of the frame constants for the imageFrameStyle property. A convex bezel that makes the image stand out in relief, like a button
NSImageFrameGrayBezel 2 One of the frame constants for the imageFrameStyle property. A gray, concave bezel that makes the image look sunken
NSImageFrameGroove 3 One of the frame constants for the imageFrameStyle property. A thin groove that looks etched around the image
NSImageFrameNone 0 One of the frame constants for the imageFrameStyle property. An invisible frame
NSImageFramePhoto 1 One of the frame constants for the imageFrameStyle property. A thin black outline and a dropped shadow

Scale Methods

Constant Value Description
NSImageScaleAxesIndependently 1 Scale each dimension to exactly fit destination. This setting does not preserve the aspect ratio of the image.
NSImageScaleNone 2 Do not scale the image.
NSImageScaleProportionallyDown 0 If it is too large for the destination, scale the image down while preserving the aspect ratio.
NSImageScaleProportionallyUpOrDown 3 Scale the image to its maximum possible dimensions while both staying within the destination area and preserving its aspect ratio.
NSScaleNone 2 Do not scale the image.
NSScaleProportionally 0 If it is too large for the destination, scale the image down while preserving the aspect ratio.
NSScaleToFit 1 Scale each dimension to exactly fit destination. This setting does not preserve the aspect ratio of the image.
