Aspects of this proposal are similar to Cocoa Auto Layout introduced in Lion. It wouldn't handle everything (like fundamental view restructuring), but if we could: a) Get a few of the rough edges sanded down on the Mac side (NSSplitView, hint hint) and; b) Get an iOS implementation it would greatly simplify certain aspects of design. Auto Layout definitely has a substantial run-time component, so I'm not sure whether existing hardware could handle the load while still guaranteeing performance, but then again the iPad 3 is pretty fast... -- Conrad Shultz Synthetiq Solutions www.synthetiqsolutions.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
