Thanks for your reply, Murat. I think I found the source (or similar
to what I remember) - it was not Cocoa but Java UI code. I still have
a feeling I've seen this in cocoa / ojb-c
<http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/fisheyemenu/fisheyemenu-demo.shtml>
Thanks for the heads-up on hyperbolic trees.
All the best, Ian

The kind of menu you're asking about is generally known as a

I'd be surprised if there were a NSMenu based example of this since
NSMenu isn't really customizable in the ways needed to implement a
hyperbolic tree.

I remember some (possibly) cocoa sample code that may have been
from Apple, that demonstrated how to create a custom NSMenu with a
huge number of items but using the 'fish-eye' visual trick of
scaling those near the mouse (with a fall off to a tiny font size).
Does anyone else recall this sample code - I'm having trouble
finding reference to it (on google and on these lists).
