MeshCellMeasure
is an annotation of MeshRegion and BoundaryMeshRegion objects that gives the measures of mesh cells.
Details

- AnnotationValue[{ℛ,itemspec},MeshCellMeasure] will give the measures for all cells in a MeshRegion or BoundaryMeshRegion object ℛ specified by itemspec.
- MeshCellMeasure is intrinsic to the cell and cannot be modified using Annotate, AnnotationDelete, or AnnotationValue.
