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.
