I suppose someone is sure to ask why I can't use NSScrollView. I'm doing a kind of scrolling that isn't just shifting a view around. Some members are
arranged in two rows, like so...

1  2  3
4  5  6

and when you scroll right, they change like this...

2  3  4
5  6  7

and so on.

Pardon my intrusiveness, but this sounds like a terrible UI. It's
highly nonstandard and nobody will expect it to behave this way. Why
can't you do things the normal way such that you start off with:

A  B  C
Z  Y  X

And when you scroll to the right you get:

B  C  D
Y  X  W

This has the dual advantage of allowing you to use NSScrollView and
not confusing your users.



These items are in a linear order, and it wouldn't be very useful to see two disjoint subsequences of them. Anyway, it's a cross-platform product, and the interface isn't really my decision.
