AnnotationDelete

AnnotationDelete[obj]

deletes all annotations of the object obj.

AnnotationDelete[{obj,itemspec}]

deletes all annotations of the items of obj specified by itemspec.

AnnotationDelete[spec,key]

deletes the annotation key specified by spec.

Details

  • Typically used to delete annotations for objects and specific items in an object.
  • AnnotationDelete[spec,key] returns the object specified in spec with the annotation key deleted.
  • For standard annotations, AnnotationDelete effectively resets the value to the annotation default value.
  • 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.

Properties & Relations  (6)

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

Use AnnotationValue to extract values:

For undefined annotations, the value $Failed is returned:

Use AnnotationValue to set annotations in a graph:

The original graph has changed:

Use AnnotationValue to unset annotations in a graph:

The original graph has changed:

Use AnnotationKeys to test for the presence of a annotation:

Generate a list of vertex label rules:

Use Annotate to set a annotation without changing the original:

The original graph is unchanged:

Possible Issues  (1)

AnnotationValue is typically faster than AnnotationDelete:
