Taggroup in Gatan Digital Micrograph

A taggroup is a structure for grouping some special variables called “tags”. Tags have a label, a value and a type. Taggroups also exist in a variant called TagList, which groups the tags in an indexed manner. A taggroup can either contain name - value pairs, where the value can be virtually anything, including other TagGroups, or can contain indexed tags. In the latter case, the TagGroup is referred to as a TagList. Script examples are Example1, Example2, Example3, Example4, and Example5.

The way to view the contents of a taggroup is a GUI browser that can be invoked with the function TagGroupOpenBrowserWindow().

Some important taggroups built in DM already are:
        -- TagGroupSetTagAsNumber
        -- TagGroupSetTagAsString
        -- GetPersistentTagGroup
        -- GetUserPersistentTagGroup
        -- ImageGetTagGroup
        -- PrintTagGroup
