GraphicsGroup

GraphicsGroup[{g1,g2,…}]

represents a collection of graphics objects grouped together for purposes of interactive selection in a notebook.

Details and Options

  • GraphicsGroup works with both two- and three-dimensional graphics.
  • A graphics group can typically be created by applying the Group item in the Graphics menu to a collection of selected graphics.
  • With the default setting ContentSelectable->Automatic, double‐clicking allows you to select an individual graphics object gi within the group.
  • With ContentSelectable->False, individual objects within the group cannot separately be selected, unless they are first explicitly ungrouped.
  • With ContentSelectable->True, objects within the group can be selected immediately with a single click.
  • GraphicsGroup always defines a level in the hierarchy of a graphics expression, so that for example goes to the next enclosing GraphicsGroup. »

Basic Examples  (1)

A group of primitives to be selected together:

Wolfram Language code: Graphics[GraphicsGroup[{Pink, Disk[{0, 0}], Disk[{1, 0}]}]]

Scope  (2)

Combine multiple primitives in groups:

Wolfram Language code: a = GraphicsGroup[{Circle[], Circle[{1, 1}]}];
Wolfram Language code: b = GraphicsGroup[{FaceForm[], EdgeForm[StandardGray], Rectangle[{3, -1}, {5, 1}], Rectangle[{4, 0}, {6, 2}]}];
Wolfram Language code: Graphics[{a, b}]

Define the hierarchy within graphics:

Wolfram Language code: Graphics[GraphicsGroup[{Red, Disk[{0, 0}], GraphicsGroup[{Green, Disk[{1, 0}], GraphicsGroup[{Blue, Disk[{2, 0}]}]}]}]]

Options  (3)

ContentSelectable  (3)

No individual object is selectable; the graphics group appears as one object:

Wolfram Language code: Graphics[{Blue, Disk[{-3, 0}], GraphicsGroup[{Pink, Disk[], Rectangle[{2, -1}, {4, 1}]}, ContentSelectable -> False]}]

Allow the individual objects in the graphics group to be selectable by a single click:

Wolfram Language code: Graphics[{Blue, Disk[{-3, 0}], GraphicsGroup[{Pink, Disk[], Rectangle[{2, -1}, {4, 1}]}, ContentSelectable -> True]}]

The first click selects the whole group, and subsequent clicks select individual objects:

Wolfram Language code: Graphics[{Blue, Disk[{-3, 0}], GraphicsGroup[{Pink, Disk[], Rectangle[{2, -1}, {4, 1}]}, ContentSelectable -> Automatic]}]
