            the specified source is not 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.

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

.. 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.
