$Group=<name> is used to define a group of associated objects. This enables the user to define his own objects from combinations of basic objects such as #Bar with scale and value etc. The definition is carried out as for a #Page after a blank line. The $Group=<name> object type is first given a unique name. The $ instead of # indicates that this is the definition. After the $Group definition the objects combined for the group are configured.

A #Group object can incorporate any object. However, only the following objects can be assigned parameters via Group:
Parameters The objects within a $Group definition can be assigned parameters. Parameters can be assigned by column with the placeholder {%x} (x=1 to n). If several Group parameters are to be assigned, these must be separated by commas. The first parameter then corresponds to the placeholder {%1}. Each further parameter separated by a comma is configured by increasing the number ( {%2} ). If a comma is to be assigned in a parameter for a called #Group object, this parameter must be placed in braces (Example: {text, text} ). Parameters can be assigned as required. In other words, placeholders for which no parameter is assigned are removed. (replaced by an empty string)
A placeholder has the following format: {%<Parameter number>}. The numbering of the placeholders starts for each column with 1.
It's possible to provide the following properties by parameter:
