I think I have a good solution. The custom container view I implement will likely be the documentView within an NSScrollView. Thanks for all your feedback including mentioning different options for animation. I was going to ask if you used autolayout to place and resize items within your container view, but since you're changing frame origins and sizes I'm sure you're not. I'm about to post a question about whether to use autolayout in this scenario. At this moment I'm planning to just change frame origins and sizes because it seems more straightforward than trying to use autolayout.
