Thanks for all the comments. I have made some changes to my workflow
and things are working better now.
"Inkscape" is a vector drawing program (which has beautifully designed
icons). My canvas size of 28x22 points was a poor choice because the
Cocoa frameworks would apply a non-uniform scal
I'm just using a standard NSToolbarItem. In any case, I doubt that would change
anything if the line is being drawn on two pixels. With the way I am doing it,
I can get it right on the pixels every time, and in many cases I want to adjust
things a bit between the 24 and 32 pixel images anyway, s

Hmm, I see.
One thing I've noticed is t
I think the issue is more to do with the scaling leaving the lines moved from
the pixel boundaries, and with only 24 or 32 pixels to play with, it's pretty
noticeable when it blurs across two pixels.

It shouldn't, as it has no native resolution. What can happen though is that
NSImage caches it to a bitmap and reuses the bitmap, which can

But if a PDF contains only vector graphics elements it has no native resolution
so it should scale to any size reasonably well. Just don't put any bitmaps in
there.
Here's a simple example
The two sizes of the icons when displayed as "normal" and "small" are 32x32 and
24x24. While the recommended way of handling this is to create a multi-image
file as has been described previously, or to use a PDF, I find drawbacks in
both approaches
- multi-image files are normally just the two s
DF's.
Just my $0.02.

My current ad hoc work flow for toolbar icons which are geometric in
nature.
• Use "Inkscape".
• Use a small canvas size of 28 points wide x 22 points high.
• Try to make sure the ink is generally constrained with the
individual point boundaries.
• Save the "Inkscape" file as a pdf.
