Non-graphical Dictionary item creation

Phillip Rutledge

Hi there,
I'm trying to get my head around dictionary items and I wonder if someone could help me out a little.

My Scenario

• I have a number of non-graphical entities that comprise PHILSITEMS
• Each entity within PHILSITEMS is a Group (Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, etc)
• Each Group is a list (of my own creation) that might be of any length but appear like this - ((0 0.426490595272059 12.23) (0 4.63103724469451 6.03) (0 3.05214452942508 10.68))

I was thinking to create a dictionary called PHILSITEMS
I was hoping to store each Group as an XRECORD within the PHILSITEMS dictionary

Is it possible to store these entities within a dictionary or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Thank you in advance for your help.
Phillip
