Functional Details

ChangeGroupType allows you to change the group type of an input object, for example, change a generic group to a series, or change a series to a multigrid. The output group changed will contain the same members as the input group data. You can also use this module to change the series positions of a Series group.

data

is the input group to be changed.

newtype

is the type for the output group. It must be one of "series", "multigrid", or "generic". Note that any combination of objects can be placed in a generic group, but there are restrictions on the objects which can be placed in a series or multigrid. In these cases, all the members must have the same data type and connection type.

idlist

is the list of series positions or list of member names. The number of items in this list, if given, must be the same as the number of members in data. This parameter is optional. If you are changing the group type to series and do not provide this parameter, the members of the series will automatically be given series positions 0, 1, ..., n-1, where n is the number of members in data.

Components

This module does not change any components of the input object. It changes only the group type.
