SHIP:Node:group

Node Home

Node Type	Description
group	Lightweight node that encloses other nodes for pure organizational benefit, or to create an array of nodes.

A group node encloses other nodes. It is a non-visual and light wrapper that helps to isolate name spaces of nodes and organize your layout and resources and has no inherent functionality other than the ability to disable listeners inside it.

Parent Nodes

The following nodes are permitted to hold this node:

• box
• display
• group
• link
• linkset
• linkvar
• page
• text
• variable

Child Nodes

The following nodes are permitted to exist within this node:

• audioclip
• box
• constant
• group
• image
• text
• variable

Examples

The group node is convenient for wrapping a set of nodes, such as constants, to give them a name space.
