But through code you would piece it all together? Is there a way to visually see in interface builder the view, without it being in a window/panel?
Working with a stand-alone view in a nib _does_ let you visually design it. Interface Builder does show it in a window frame when you're editing it, but it isn't really in a window.
You can drag a custom view out of the library, or you can copy the content view of a window and then paste it at the top level. You can also drag a window's content view into the library so that the library will have a ready-made plain (non-custom) NSView for your future use.
