Comment on "Saving Cocoa View Contents to an Image File"
by Derek Kuhl — Oct 23
NSBitmapImageRep* rep = [self bitmapImageRepForCachingDisplayInRect:bounds];
[self cacheDisplayInRect:bounds toBitmapImageRep:rep];
NSData* data = [rep representationUsingType:NSJPEGFileType properties:nil];
[data writeToFile:@"/path/to/file.jpg" atomically:NO];

Works in a few less lines, doesn't need to declare an NSRect, doesn't worry about locking focus, and there's no worries about releasing any objects (rep is autoreleased).
