Implemented Interfaces

goocanvas.Group implements goocanvas.Item

Description

goocanvas.Group represents a group of items. Groups can be nested to any depth, to create a hierarchy of items. Items are ordered within each group, with later items being displayed above earlier items. It is a subclass of goocanvas.ItemSimple and so inherits all of the style properties such as "stroke-color", "fill-color" and "line-width". Setting a style property on a goocanvas.Group will affect all children of the goocanvas.Group (unless the children override the property setting). It also implements the goocanvas.Item interface, so you can use the goocanvas.Item functions such as goocanvas.Item.raise_() and goocanvas.Item.rotate(), and the properties such as "visibility" and "pointer-events".
