MeshCellLabel

MeshCellLabel

is an option to MeshRegion, BoundaryMeshRegion and related functions that specifies labels and placements for mesh cells.

Details

  • The following option settings can be used:
  • Automaticuse automatic setting for label
    Noneuse no label
    "Cell"use mesh cell h[{i1,…}]
    "CellIndex"use mesh cell index {d,i} for dimension d
    "Index"use index i from mesh cell index {d,i}
    "Marker"use mesh cell marker
    {cellspec1label1,…}use labeli for mesh cell cellspeci
  • The wrapper Labeled[cellspec,label] is equivalent to Annotation[cellspec,MeshCellLabellabel] and can be used when creating mesh regions in functions such as MeshRegion, BoundaryMeshRegion, etc.
  • Placed[label,"Centroid"] can be used to place the label at the centroid of the cell. Placed[label,Tooltip] will place the label in a Tooltip.
  • The cell specification cellspec follows the standard form described for MeshRegion and BoundaryMeshRegion.

Label all cells with tooltips:

By default, labels are placed at the "Centroid":

All can be used to specify all cells:

By default, all cells are labeled:

Alternatively, you can specify a head and indices:

Specify a list of cell indices to label:

Label cells whose indices match a pattern:
