Properties

As of Version 12.1, Properties has been superseded by AnnotationRules.

✖
Properties

is an option that allows specification of properties to objects and items of objects.

Details

  • The Properties option can be used to specify properties to objects and items of objects such as Graph, MeshRegion and BoundaryMeshRegion.
  • Properties->{item1->{prop1->val1,prop2->val2,…},…} indicates that item1 has the property-value pairs prop1->val1, prop2->val2, etc.
  • Item specifications for each type of object are given in their reference pages.
  • The Properties option can be used to specify inheritance of properties in constructs such as Subgraph, EdgeAdd and GraphUnion.
  • Typical settings for inheritance of properties include:
  • Inheritedinherit all properties
    Automaticuse automatic inheritance of properties
    Noneset no inheritance
