I had considered doing this with Core Animation, but it just seems simpler to get this working. Here is the code that I'm using (adapted from Hillegass, Chapter 29):

-(void)displayViewController:(NSViewController *)vc
{
        NSWindow *w = [self window];
        NSView *v = [vc view];
        
        // Compute the new window frame
        NSSize currentSize = [[w contentView] frame].size;
        NSSize newSize = [v frame].size;
        float deltaWidth = newSize.width - currentSize.width;
        float deltaHeight = newSize.height - currentSize.height;
        NSRect windowFrame = [w frame];
        windowFrame.size.height += deltaHeight;
        windowFrame.origin.y -= deltaHeight;
        windowFrame.size.width += deltaWidth;
        
        [w setContentView:nil];
        [w setFrame:windowFrame display:YES animate:YES];
        [w setContentView:v];
}


You probably shouldn't replace the content view with your own view. The content view is a container that is managed by the window (resized to the window's specifications as the window resizes, for example). Instead of replacing it you probably want to add your view as a sub- view of the content view, something like this:

  // todo: set this up to your liking
  NSRect contentBounds = [[w contentView] bounds];
  // fill content view entirely
  [v setFrame:contentBounds];
  // adjust width and height to content view/window
  [v setAutoresizingMask:NSViewWidthSizable | NSViewHeightSizable];

  [[w contentView] addSubview:v];

  [w setFrame:windowFrame display:YES animate:YES];
