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:
-
Audio time points and time intervals BoundaryMeshRegion mesh cells CSGRegion geometric regions Graph vertices and edges MeshRegion mesh cells - Item specification itemspec for each type of object is given in its reference page.

Linda wants to be anonymous in the presentation of the family gathering. Hide her vertex label:
Use Fold to apply AnnotationDelete repeatedly:
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:
Possible Issues (1)
AnnotationValue is typically faster than AnnotationDelete:
