Summary:
Please create a user interface to group displays together in the Displays system preference. A display group would consist of multiple identical displays arranged either horizontally or vertically. The resulting virtual display would be available to developers through the NSScreen API.

Steps to Reproduce:
n/a

Expected Results:
n/a

Actual Results:
n/a

Regression:
n/a

Notes:
The purpose in creating grouped displays is that gaming and presentation apps can use the display as a single canvas and not need to implement their own configuration.

As an example, here is one way ATI/AMD have implemented this on Windows:
