   *refresh* signal.

---------------------

.. function:: void obs_sceneitem_group_ungroup2(obs_sceneitem_t *group, bool signal)

   Ungroups the specified group.  Scene items within the group will be
   placed where the group was.

   :param group: Group scene item
   :param signal: If *true*, signals the scene with the *refresh*
                  signal

---------------------

.. function:: void obs_sceneitem_group_add_item(obs_sceneitem_t *group, obs_sceneitem_t *item)

   Adds a scene item to a group.

---------------------

.. function:: void obs_sceneitem_group_remove_item(obs_sceneitem_t *item)

   Removes a scene item from a group.  The item will be placed before
   the group in the main scene.

---------------------

.. function:: obs_sceneitem_t *obs_sceneitem_get_group(obs_scene_t *scene, obs_sceneitem_t *item)

   Returns the parent group of a scene item.

   :param scene: Scene to find the group within
   :param item: Scene item to get the group of
   :return:     The parent group of the scene item, or *NULL* if not in
                a group

---------------------

.. function:: void obs_sceneitem_group_enum_items(obs_sceneitem_t *group, bool (*callback)(obs_scene_t*, obs_sceneitem_t*, void*), void *param)

   Enumerates scene items within a group.

   Callback function returns true to continue enumeration, or false to end
   enumeration.

   Use :c:func:`obs_sceneitem_addref()` if you want to retain a
   reference after obs_sceneitem_group_enum_items finishes.


---------------------

.. function:: void obs_sceneitem_defer_group_resize_begin(obs_sceneitem_t *item)
.. function:: void obs_sceneitem_defer_group_resize_end(obs_sceneitem_t *item)

   Allows the ability to call any one of the transform functions on
   scene items within a group without updating the internal matrices of
   the group until obs_sceneitem_defer_group_resize_end has been called.

   This is necessary if the user is resizing items while they are within
   a group, as the group's transform will automatically update its
   transform every frame otherwise.
