- I'm looking for ways, no any way really, to implement two dimmensional
- pop up menus. I am especially interested in 2D color palette pop ups
- like the ones used in many applications dealing with the interactive
- change of the pen color, e.g., ResEdit's (cicn editor). Linear menus
- are limited when dealing with a large number of items. A linear color
- palette pop up with 256 items would be rather tedious for users, so I
- believe 2d pop up menus would be a nice extension to MCL.
-
- MCL supports linear menus really great but I don't quite see how I
- should implement 2d pop ups. Any pointers and hints are very much
- appreciated..
