[Solved] Should I use Quartz2D to create a mind map interface? [closed]

Question

In terms of an interface, I’d suggest looking at a few things there:

1) Being (i you’re acquainted to it) the Cocoa / UIKit interface

I know it sounds like an obvious place to refer to, but tire’s a load of info here on the apple site that helps.

2) Look at the “Core Animation” side of things i.e. CALayer, CAShapeLayer (for shapes like squares etc..) and CATextLayer (for text). They deal directly with proper layer “laying out” of shapes, layers, animations and text.

3) In terms of a simper one (like one that appears like a “filesystem” structure or if you’re a windows user a “windows folder structure), then I’d suggest NSSourceView or etc…

The options are pretty pretty much all over the place so the way you want to do it is all there, how you want it don’t is all there, etc…

Hav you got any examples of what you’ve seem and need more clarification on?
