Render Groups
=============
The :class:`~rich.console.RenderGroup` class allows you to group several renderables together so they may be rendered in a context where only a single renderable may be supplied. For instance, you might want to display several renderables within a :class:`~rich.panel.Panel`.
To render two panels within a third panel, you would construct a RenderGroup with the *child* renderables as positional arguments then wrap the result in another Panel::
from rich import print
from rich.console import RenderGroup
from rich.panel import Panel
panel_group = RenderGroup(
Panel("Hello", style="on blue"),
Panel("World", style="on red"),
)
print(Panel(panel_group))
This pattern is nice when you know in advance what renderables will be in a group, put can get awkward if you have a larger number of renderables, especially if they are dynamic. Rich provides a :func:`~rich.console.render_group` decorator to help with these situations. The decorator builds a render group from an iterator of renderables. The following is the equivalent of the previous example using the decorator::
from rich import print
from rich.console import render_group
from rich.panel import Panel
@render_group()
def get_panels():
yield Panel("Hello", style="on blue")
yield Panel("World", style="on red")
print(Panel(get_panels()))
