<h2>4.8 Groups</h2>
<p>
It is often convenient to treat a collection of objects as a single
object. This can be achieved by <em>grouping</em> objects. The result
is a geometric object, which can be moved, scaled, rotated etc. as a
whole. To edit its parts or to move parts of it with respect to
others, however, you have to <em>un-group</em> the object, which
decomposes it into its component objects. To un-group a group object,
select it, bring up the object menu, and select the <em>Ungroup</em>
function.
<p>Group objects can be elements of other groups, so you can create a
hierarchy of objects.
