10.64. Create Data Group
Group (Subgroup)
Core (Generation)
Description
This Filter creates a new empty DataGroup at a user-specified location in the Data Structure. The new DataGroup contains nothing initially; subsequent filters can add child objects to it.
What is a DataGroup?
A DataGroup is a general-purpose container. Unlike an Attribute Matrix, a DataGroup can hold any DataObject of any size – geometries, attribute matrices, arrays of varying sizes, even other DataGroups. There is no shared-tuple-shape contract.
Use a DataGroup when you need to organize heterogeneous data, such as a logical grouping of unrelated arrays or geometries. Use Create Attribute Matrix instead when all the arrays you are grouping share a common tuple shape and represent values over the same domain.
Required Input Sources
Parent Data Object Path – an existing DataGroup, Attribute Matrix, or Geometry under which the new DataGroup will be created. The top-level of the Data Structure can also be selected.
