One option is to just use the TK canvas widget. The last time I
checked, TK and for that matter Tcl worked great on OS X.
Assuming you want a Mac OS X only Cocoa solution, I suggest that you
start with NSView. It is actually very easy to create objects that can
be dragged, resized, animated, linked, etc. I have seen really cool
graphical finite state machine applications under Openstep with
animated stimulus of events and animated state transitions as well as
automated state machine documentation and other features. Sadly, many
such applications failed to make the transition to Apple/Cocoa when
Apple acquired NeXT/Openstep and the effectively abandoned NeXT's old
customer base for six or seven years. Apple has and had its own
priorities and they have every right to take their ball and go home...I
mean take their products and discontinue them. It is just sad that so
many cool things were lost as a result.
