NSImage to NSBitmapImageRep

Question

How to convert NSImage to NSBitmapImageRep? I have code:

- (NSBitmapImageRep *)bitmapImageRepresentation
{
    NSBitmapImageRep *ret = (NSBitmapImageRep *)[self

Maybe late to the party, but this is the Swift 3 version from the @mrwalker response:

extension NSImage {
    func bitmapImageRepresentation(colorSpaceName: String) -> NSBitmapImageRep? {
        let width = self.size.width
        let height = self.size.height

        if width < 1 || height < 1 {
            return nil
        }

        if let rep = NSBitmapImageRep(bitmapDataPlanes: nil, pixelsWide: Int(width), pixelsHigh: Int(height), bitsPerSample: 8, samplesPerPixel: 4, hasAlpha: true, isPlanar: false, colorSpaceName: colorSpaceName, bytesPerRow: Int(width) * 4, bitsPerPixel: 32)
        {
            let ctx = NSGraphicsContext.init(bitmapImageRep: rep)
            NSGraphicsContext.saveGraphicsState()
            NSGraphicsContext.setCurrent(ctx)
            self.draw(at: NSZeroPoint, from: NSZeroRect, operation: NSCompositingOperation.copy, fraction: 1.0)
            ctx?.flushGraphics()
            NSGraphicsContext.restoreGraphicsState()
            return rep
        }
        return nil
    }
}
