PropertyValue

PropertyValue[{obj, item}, name]
gives the property value associated with name for item in obj.

DetailsDetails

  • Properties are used to store and manipulate pairs for specific named items within an object such as Graph.
  • PropertyValue[{obj, item}, name] returns $Failed whenever there is no property value available for name.
  • PropertyValue[{obj, item}, name]=val can be used to modify the property value.
  • The items available for Graph objects include vertices and edges.
