- Field Detail
  - DEFAULT_OPTIONS
```
static final int DEFAULT_OPTIONS
```
    Default expansion/contraction options.

    Constant Field Values
  - MDL_EXPAND
```
static final int MDL_EXPAND
```
    MDL like multiple group expansion flag. Coordinates of corresponding atoms in different expanded units are equal. Use this flag for MDL molfile export.

  - REVERSIBLE_EXPAND
```
@Deprecated
static final int REVERSIBLE_EXPAND
```
    Deprecated. as of Marvin 6.2, use LEAVE_COORDS_UNCHANGED instead
    
    Reversible expansion or contraction. Coordinates are not calculated.
    
    Since:
    
    Marvin 3.4, 03/18/2004
    
    See Also:
    Constant Field Values
  - LEAVE_COORDS_UNCHANGED
```
static final int LEAVE_COORDS_UNCHANGED
```
    Coordinates are not calculated during expand or contract.
    
    Since:
    
    Marvin 6.2, 2013/09/25
    
    See Also:
    Constant Field Values
  - NONRECURSIVE_EXPAND
```
static final int NONRECURSIVE_EXPAND
```
    Non recursive expansion of child groups.
    
    Since:
    
    Marvin 3.4, 04/22/2004
    
    See Also:
    Constant Field Values
  - FAST_COORDS
```
static final int FAST_COORDS
```
    Fast coordinate calculation in expand.
    
    Since:

    See Also:
    Constant Field Values
  - COORDS_UPDATE
```
@Deprecated
static final int COORDS_UPDATE
```
    Deprecated. As of Marvin 6.2, no replacement.
    Not supported feature.
    
    Performs coordinate update during the unbinding of atoms. The atom which replaces the unbound atom will take the coordinates of the unbound atom in order preserve the stereo attributes of crossing bonds.

- Method Detail
  - contract
```
boolean contract(int opts)
```
    Contracts the S-group.
    
    Parameters:
    opts - contraction options (currently neglected)
    
    Returns:
    true if the operation was successful, false if the group cannot be contracted
    See Also:
    DEFAULT_OPTIONS, LEAVE_COORDS_UNCHANGED
  - expand
```
boolean expand(int opts)
```
    Expands the S-group.
    
    Parameters:
    opts - expansion options
    
    Returns:
    true if the operation was successful, false if the group cannot be expanded
    See Also:
    DEFAULT_OPTIONS, MDL_EXPAND, LEAVE_COORDS_UNCHANGED
  - isExpanded
```
boolean isExpanded()
```
    Is this S-group expanded?
    
    Returns:
    true if expanded, false if not
