% GETOBJECTANNOTATIONS Retrieve annotations of a given type associated with an object
%
%    anns = getObjectAnnotations(session, annotationType, parentType, ids)
%    returns all annotations of type annotationType linked to the object of
%    type parentType and identifiers ids owned by the session user.
%
%    anns = getObjectAnnotations(session, annotationType, parentType,
%    parents) returns all annotations of type annotationType linked to the
%    input parent objects of type parentType owned by the session user.
%
%    Optional parameters:
%
%    anns = getObjectAnnotations(session, annotationType, parentType, ids,
%    'include', include) only returns annotations with the input namespace.
%
%    anns = getObjectAnnotations(session, annotationType, parentType, ids,
%    'exclude', exclude) excludes annotations with the input namespace.
%
%    anns = getObjectAnnotations(session, annotationType, parentType, ids,
%    'owner', ownerid) returns annotations owned by the user with
%    identifier ownerid. Use -1 to return the annotations owned by all
%    users.
%    Default: identifier of the session owner.
%
%    anns = getObjectAnnotations(session, annotationType, parentType, ids,
%    'flatten', tf) sets the flatting option for the ouptut. If true, all
%    found annotations are returned as a single array of annotations. If
%    false, they are returned as  a cell array where the i-th element is an
%    array of all the annotations linked to the i-th object.
%    Default: true.
%
%    anns = getObjectAnnotations(session, annotationType, parentType, ids,
%    'group', groupid) returns annotations belonging to the input groupid.
%    Use -1 to return the annotations belonging to all groups.
%    Default: current session groupid.
%
%    All additional options input as parameter/value pairs are passed to
%    the OMERO service.
%
%    Examples:
%
%        anns = getObjectAnnotations(session, annotationType, parentType,
%        ids)
%        anns = getObjectAnnotations(session, annotationType, parentType,
%        parents)
%        anns = getObjectAnnotations(session, annotationType, parentType,
%        ids, 'include', include)
%        anns = getObjectAnnotations(session, annotationType, parentType,
%        ids, 'exclude', exclude)
%        anns = getObjectAnnotations(session, annotationType, parentType,
%        ids, 'owner', -1)
%        anns = getObjectAnnotations(session, annotationType, parentType,
%        ids, 'flatten', true, 'uid', -1, 'omero.group', -1)
