Property

As of Version 12.1, Property has been superseded by Annotation.

Property[item,namevalue]

associates the property namevalue with item.

Details

  • Properties are used to store and manipulate name->value pairs for specific named items within an object such as Graph, MeshRegion and BoundaryMeshRegion.
  • Property acts as an inert wrapper around items.
  • Objects that support properties include Graph, MeshRegion and BoundaryMeshRegion. Item specifications for each type of object is given in their reference pages.

Property can be used to set several properties of vertices:

And edges:

Some properties have equivalent wrappers, including Labeled:

Applications  (1)

Use Table to set similar properties for many items:

Properties & Relations  (6)

Use PropertyValue to extract values:

For undefined properties, the value $Failed is returned:

Use PropertyValue to set properties in a graph:

The original graph has changed:

Use PropertyValue to unset properties in a graph:

The original graph has changed:

Use PropertyList to test for the presence of a property:

Generate a list of vertex label rules:

Use SetProperty to set a property without changing the original:

The original graph is unchanged:

Use RemoveProperty to remove a property without changing the original:

The original graph is unchanged:
