GraphicsGroup

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

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 within the group.

With ContentSelectable->False, individual objects within the group cannot separately be selected, unless they are first explicitly ungrouped.
