Class: GroupMark

_Group marks are containers for other marks, and used to create visualizations with multiple views or layers. Each _

_group instance recursively defines its own nested visualization specification. Group marks provide their own _

coordinate space and can include nested data, signal, scale, axis, legend, title and mark definitions.
