Functional Details

This module creates, from specified objects, a group of named members.

object

is an object to be placed in the group.

name

is the name to be associated with the preceding object. Each name must be unique.

The input parameters object and name must be paired. Objects can then be selected from the group by name or by number (see Select).

Note that fields placed in the generic group created by the module are treated individually (compare CollectMultiGrid). For example, AutoColor colors each field in the group according to the minimum and maximum data values of that field, and Sample samples each field individually.

A single CollectNamed module can collect up to 21 objects together in a group. The default number of enabled parameter pairs (i.e., object, name) is two. (Tabs can be added to the module icon and removed with the appropriate ...Input Tab options in the Edit pull-down menu of the VPE.)

Components

All input components are propagated to the output.
