Details #!N #!N This module creates a group from a set 
of input objects. #!N #!I0 #!N #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
object #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N is an object to be placed 
in a group. #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N Note that fields 
placed in the generic group created by the module retain their 
individuality. For example, AutoColor colors each field in the group based 
on its own minimum and maximum data values; and Sample samples 
each field individually. These examples contrast with the composite fields created 
by Partition and the multigrid field created by CollectMultigrid. #!N #!N 
The Collect module adds objects to the group without assigning them 
names. Use the Select module to select an object from the 
group by number, where the first object is number 0. #!N 
#!N If Collect is called without parameters--Collect()--then the output is an 
empty group. #!N #!N A single module can collect a maximum 
of 21 objects. In the user interface, the default number of 
enabled tabs is two. However, tabs can be added and removed 
with the appropriate  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Input/Output Tab #!EF options in the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
Edit #!EF pull-down menu of the VPE. #!N #!N Components #!N 
#!N All input components are propagated to the output. #!N #!N 
Example Visual Programs #!N #!N Nearly every example visual program uses
