Manage tags¶
The omero tag subcommands manage the creation, linking and listing of
tag annotations. All subcommands can be listed using the -h option:
$ omero tag -h
Create tags¶
To create a new tag annotation, use the omero tag create command:
$ omero tag create
Please enter a name for this tag: my_tag
To create a tag set containing two existing tags of known identifiers
1259 and 1260, use the omero tag createset command:
$ omero tag createset --tag 1259 1260
Please enter a name for this tag set: my_tag_set
For both tags and tag sets, the name and an optional description can be
passed using the --name and --desc options:
$ omero tag create --name my_tag --desc 'description of my_tag'
$ omero tag createset --tag 1259 1260 --name my_tag_set --desc 'description of my_tag_set'
List tags¶
To list all the tags owned by the current user, use the omero tag list command:
$ omero tag list
+- 1261:'my_tag_set'
|\
| +- 1259:'my_tag'
| +- 1260:'my_tag_2'
+- 1264:'my_tag_set_2'
|\
| +- 1260:'my_tag_2'
| +- 1263:'my_tag_4'
Orphaned tags:
> 1262:'my_tag_3'
To list all the tag sets owned by the current user, use the omero tag listsets command:
$ omero tag listsets
--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ID |Name
--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1261 |my_tag_set
1264 |my_tag_set_2
--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Link tags¶
Tags can be linked to objects on the server using the omero tag link
command. The object must be specified as object_type:object_id. To link
the tag of identifier 1260 to the Image of identifier 1000, use:
$ omero tag link Image:1000 1260
Delete tags¶
Tags can be deleted using the omero delete command. The tag or tag set
must be specified as TagAnnotation:tag_id. To delete tag 123 use:
$ omero delete TagAnnotation:123
By default the tags within a tag set will not be deleted with the tag set. To
delete any included tags use the omero delete --include option:
$ omero delete TagAnnotation:123 --include TagAnnotation
