Re: Fish Eye Custom NSMenu Sample Code

The kind of menu you're asking about is generally known as a 
"hyperbolic tree". An example can be seen at:

I'd be surprised if there were a NSMenu based example of this since 
NSMenu isn't really customizable in the ways needed to implement a 
hyperbolic tree.
