I don't understand your answer.
The documentation for -tableView:dataCellForTableColumn:row: says
"A different data cell can be returned for any particular table column and row, 
or a cell that will be used for the entire row (a full width cell)."
What I am trying to do is to display multiple text items arranged in a custom 
format. For that purpose I use this delegate method to return my "custom cell" 
wherein I have modified drawWithFrame:inView: to do my custom drawing.
From the documentation I understand that this delegate method is used to return 
an NSCell subclass. This subclass can include a custom method to draw the cell.
Couple of questions:
- If this is not the right way to do what I described. Could someone point me 
in the right direction?
- Out of curiosity, for what other purpose can 
-tableView:dataCelForTableColumn:row: be used. 
Thanks
