You still might not need NSDocument. If the user will only ever see one
set of charts, I'd probably stick that scaling info in preferences. On
the other hand, if he may have several chart sets open, each at
different scalings, then I'd start to think about NSDocument.
Basically, do you want the user to be able to attach a name to a set of
scaling values (NSDocument), or should they just magically stick around
(preferences)?

Okay, I feel we're getting close to an answer here. Let's say that I
want to have several charts open, each one tracking a different event;
if I understand what you're saying, a plain Cocoa App template is the
way to go as long as the user does nothing with these charts other than
look at them. Or tell them to go away! But if I were to allow the
user to say change the scaling of the charts, then I'd want to use the
full Cocoa Document template? Is that right? My question here is
based on your term "work with," which I take to mean "make some change
to," as opposed to merely gawking at. A further wrinkle is that even
if the user does make a change in the chart such as resetting the
scaling, the chart is NOT going to be saved when the user is finished
eyeballing it.
