Ah, OK. I think the job may have been half-done.
If I understood the design correctly, the idea was that the
non-selected units would become very small and be arranged around the
outside of the cell. So to try to render it in ASCII art:
i i b f
c IIIII f
I
c I f
I
d IIIII f
d d f f
where the big "I" is the selected unit, and the "i", "i", etc are the
non-selected units.
At least, I think that is one of the ideas that Stan had been playing
with.
