CenterStage Object Class: DataFromGroup Subclass of: Polyhedron Requires a reference to a Group object The DataFromGroup class provides a means of using the data already computed by another Group object. One reason to do this is to make a ShowMe checkbox that can be used to turn the group on and off without recomputing it (or any other objects linked to it). To do this, make a Group object that has its OBJECT/SHOW menu set to NEVER, and then create a DataFromGroup object that links to it and has the CheckBox and ShowMe directives. When the DataFromGroup object is first shown, it will force the Group object to compute the data, and then the DataFromGroup object will be able to use that data whenever it is shown, without recomputing it. Unlike the other DataFrom... classes, the DataFromGroup object converts all the data from Surface and Curve objects to polyhedral faces. This can affect some display attributes, such as smooth shading, since the surface and curve objects take advantage of knowing the connectivity of the objects, which the polyhedral form does not. The DataFromGroup object has no non-standard directives.
