Fellow list members,
I am starting to work on an application that will use the periodic
table of the elements in its on screen interface. The user will roll
the mouse over the elements in the table and various things will be
displayed elsewhere in the window depending on the position of the
cursor. I am wondering what the best App Kit object would be to
represent the table. I am thinking a custom NSTableView - custom
because the periodic table is not rectangular - some of the cells in
the NSTableView grid of cells would have borders and some would not
(e.g. all those empty cells between Hydrogen and Helium). Or is their
a better approach?
I am sure someone who reads this list will have done something
similar, so I'd greatly appreciate any tips or pointers you might
have.
Thanks in advance,
Don Hall
