[ REQ 5722]: Using gcl to move multiple objects simultaneously.

[dave at cs.toronto.edu]

Hello,

I am a student at U of T, working on a robotic vision research project 
called Playbot.  I am using Geomview to display and manipulate objects, 
which I using to simulate the movement of our robotic arm.  I have 
studied the Geomview documentation, and have not been able to find a 
native gcl command that allows for the translation/rotation of multiple 
objects at once.  For example, I want to be able to move several segments 
of the arm at once, so the movement looks real.

My question is the following:  Is it possible to group several objects 
together in such a way as to be able to move them all at once, as if they 
were one object.  Is there a gcl command (or other) that would enable this.

Thank-you for your time.

Sincerely, 
David Suydam
