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:
-
Inherited inherit all properties Automatic use automatic inheritance of properties None set no inheritance
