AnnotationValue

AnnotationValue[obj,key]

gives the annotation value associated with key for the object obj.

AnnotationValue[{obj,itemspec},key]

gives the annotation value associated with key for items specified by itemspec in obj.

Details

  • Typically used to extract and manipulate values in annotations associated to an object or an item in an object.
  • AnnotationValue gives the value value in key->value annotations for an object and its items.
  • Possible objects with items that can be annotated:
  • Audiotime points and time intervals
    BoundaryMeshRegionmesh cells
    Graphvertices and edges
    MeshRegionmesh cells
  • Item specification itemspec for each type of object is given in its reference page.
  • Missing is returned when a name requested in AnnotationValue is not found.
  • AnnotationValue[{obj,itemspec},key] returns unevaluated for the tag key without value.
  • AnnotationValue[,key]=val can be used to modify the annotation value.

Highlight by setting edge style along the path and vertex labels for start point and endpoint:

Dynamically highlight the edges in the order given by EdgeList:

Do five updates a second:

Dynamically visualize breadth-first search:

Properties & Relations  (5)

Use Annotation as a wrapper to specify annotations in functions such as Graph:

AnnotationValue returns $Failed for undefined annotations:

Use AnnotationKeys to test for the presence of an annotation:

Generate a list of vertex label rules:

Use Annotate to set an annotation without changing the original:

The original graph is unchanged:

Use AnnotationDelete to remove an annotation without changing the original:

The original graph is unchanged:

Possible Issues  (2)

AnnotationValue returns $Failed for undefined annotations:

Use AnnotationKeys to test for the presence of an annotation:

AnnotationValue may return $Failed even when an annotation value exists:

Use AnnotationKeys to check for actual annotation values:
