As a relatively new cocoa developer, one thing I struggle with is determining on visual inspection how an app is constructed in terms cocoa views. Some things are obvious like splitter views, the toolbar, etc. But some are not. Does anyone know if there is a way to examine the view hierarchy of an app? Or alternatively, a good way to learn many of the common app layout patterns?

If you launch your app executable with the argument -NSShowAllViews YES, then you will be able to see all the views and their hierarchy using color-coded border highlights.

You can either add the argument to your executable in Xcode or run your app from the command line:

./YourApp.app/Contents/MacOS/YourApp -NSShowAllViews YES
