Very nice, it’s made a project I am working on _much_ simpler. ;)

One note: this code doesn’t handle high-dpi images very well, it seems to take a low-resolution sample of it and scale _that,_ instead of using all the image data. As a result a 720-dpi image scaled full screen looks blocky and jagged, whereas the same image converted to 72-dpi is perfectly smooth.

Hey Daniel,

Yep, that’s definitely something I should be doing; occurred to me yet again last night once the computer was asleep. I’ll try to get around to updating the existing archives soon, and I’ll always include the license with new stuff from now on.

Any existing mention of rights in the source is just Xcode boilerplate; I guess I should change that template too, to save some time.

Cheers,
-M

[...] Matt Gemmell shares a category on NSImage with some useful cropping utilities. It’s nice to see example/public code at this level of refinement. Should save some of you a half or full day of work. Although the license is not obvious or included in the download, it is listed on this page and is a fairly standard attribution license. Link.

Thanks for sharing this. May I suggest that you include a copy of the license terms in each source code download, in addition to the centralized location on your web site? It was difficult for me to determine what the license was since your sources files just claim all rights reserved and make no mention of a license grant.
