TYPE: SOP
TITLE: Partition SOP

The Partition SOP places points and primitives into groups based on a 
user-supplied rule.

For example, in order to put each point in its own group named 
"pt_<point number>", enter the rule: "pt_$PT".

The rule can be any valid Houdini expression.  Rules should evaluate to 
valid group names.  The result of a rule may be modified to make it a valid
group name (for example a result of "1" will be turned into the group "_1").
Standard local variables are available as well as local variables created
with the AttribCreate SOP.


Parameters:

    Group         - The primitives or points considered for the operation.
    Entity        - The type of the entity specified in the group parameter.
    Geometry Type - The type of primitives to consider for this operation.
                    Only applicable when Entity is set to Primitives.
    Rule          - The rule with which to evaluate each primitive or point.
                    The result of the rule is the name of the group in which
                    the primitive or point will be placed.

Local Variables 
    Overview - The standard local variables are usable in this operation.
               Please refer to the manual for more details, or examine the
	       relevant operations.
