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 g_i 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. »
