moveAsGroup

layoutXL moveAsGroup boolean { t | nil }

Description

Specifies that the currently selected instances are treated as a single group and maintain their relative positions during move and stretch operations.

If two cells in the selected group can be abutted to different cells, only one abutment will occur because to abut both would upset the relative position of the set. The cell chosen to abut is the one that causes the least movement within the selected set.
