Group class
Groups are predefined business objects of the class IltGroup that are used to represent a set of network resources grouped logically or geographically. For a general introduction to predefined business classes, see Introducing business objects and data sources.
The IltGroup class defines the following attributes:
*Icon —Specifies an image representing the group category:
*Name: icon
*Value class: IlSerializableImage
*Attribute: IltGroup.IconAttribute
*Shortcut —Indicates that the network element is only a reference to an existing network element.
*Name: shortcut
*Value class: ilog.tgo.model.attribute.IltShortcutAttributeType
*Attribute: IltNetworkElement.ShortcutAttribute
There are three types of groups characterized by a different shape and defined by the following IltGroup subclasses:
*IltPolyGroup,
*IltRectGroup, and
*IltLinearGroup
For more information, see Group shapes.
You can retrieve the class IltGroup using its GetIlpClass method. You can handle its instances as simple IlpObject instances and set and get its attributes with the generic methods getAttributeValue and setAttributeValue.
