Annotating data with measurements

Step 2

Add the node Annotate data with table values to the UI (red arrow 1).

In the Parameters tab (red arrow 2) add the average density as an image annotation (red arrows 3 and 4).

Each annotation consists of two parts:

1. The Name is the name of the annotation. Set it to "Density". Please note that this is an expression (as the text is colored) and text should be put into quotes.
2. The Value setting generates the annotation value. It has access to all incoming annotations and variables that contain all values of each table column. Set it to FIRST_OF($“AVG density”)

Info

The Value setting is provided with access to the annotations of the data (for example you can access the #Filename annotation), as well as variables that contain all values of the column with the same name.

In our case, we have a input table column AVG density. The AVG density variable inside the expression will be a list that contains all the AVG density values:

AVG density = [ 1.06705, 0, 0, 0, 0, ... ]

All other columns will also be available:

Solidity = [ 0.91845, 0.94189, 0.97469, ... ]
SliceZ = [ 0, 0, 0, ...]
SliceC = [ 0, 0, 0, ...]
...

If we type in AVG density into the expression, it fails because of the space character. This is why the variable is accessed via $"AVG density", which is a special operator designed to handle such issues.

The valid expression then would be

$"AVG density"

This will create an annotation with the name Density and the value [ 1.06705, 0, 0, 0, 0, ... ], as there are multiple values in a column. To only access the first of these items, we used FIRST_OF:

FIRST_OF($"AVG density")

Depending on your project, you might want other integration functions, e.g., SUM($"AVG density"), MEAN($"AVG density"), or access the second number via GET_ITEM($"AVG density", 1).
