How to scale axes independently at runtime on an NSButton

In Interface Builder, you can select how you want a button's image to be scaled, choosing either Axes Independent, Proportionally Down, etc. for the "Scaling" drop-down. How can I access or change this attribute of the NSButton at runtime?

Solution

  • You should be able to set that by using the button’s cell:

    NSButton *someButton;

NSButtonCell *someButtonCell = [someButton cell];
[someButtonCell setImageScaling:NSImageScaleAxesIndependently];

    For the list of image scaling options, see here.
