Rendering an Array Controller contents outside an NSTableView

Greetings,

  I'm a complete Cocoa newbie, so if there is already a control for
doing this, please let me know. Basically I am looking for a strategy
that I can use in order to render some items out of an array controller
(fed by Core Data) onto a surface that isn't a standard table like
NSTableView. Basically I have an entity called Thumbtack (title, xloc,
yloc). The array controller is bound to the thumbtacks. What I want is
to make it so that I can bind (something???) to the array controller
such that it will put thumbtacks in the appropriate x/y positions, and
when I add an item to the array controller, a new thumbtack appears,
etc.



I don't want the full source code (that would spoil all the fun), but I
would love it if someone could give me a general strategy on how to
approach this problem.



Thanks!!
