II. DATAformTags Developer handbook DATAformXTension © 1992-2004 www.gassenhuber.de 36 {4} *G Group Nº. [Long integer] This Tag creates a group number on the placed object. The number is saved along with the box by QuarkXPress. It can be read and changed via the Box properties dialogue in the DATAform Menu. (See under DATAformXTension “Box properties…”, page: 21.) The group number allows the integration of several boxes into one group. The number is important in three aspects: - The command “Export group” exports all boxes of a document, that have the same group number. (See under “Export group”, page: 20.) - The command “Group groups” integrates all boxes with the same group number into a QuarkXPress group. (See under “Group group”, page: 23.) - If “Group” is active in the preferences dialogue, all boxes with the same group number are grouped upon import. (See under “Preferences…”, page: 24.) In practice several boxes that are e.g. part of an article (text, picture, eye catcher), are assigned the same group number for the transfer to QuarkXPress. They can therefore be imported as a QuarkXPress group and easily be identified and shifted after placement. ¶*T3*G1*#1*$Text1¶*T3*G1*#2*$Text2¶*G1*#3*T12*$:MyPicture¶ creates three boxes all of which have the group number 1.
