Template string. This can consist of literal text, properties enclosed with '%' and expressions enclosed with '{' and '}'. The property values are those belong to the object supplied in argument 1. Properties available for the various types of graph object are described in Objects and Their Properties . Some properties return the id of another graph object. These can be used to create nested property definitions. For example %curve:label% when applied to a curve marker object returns the label of the attached curve.
The template string may also contain the special keywords <if> , <ifd> , <t> and <repeat>. These behave the same and have identical syntax as the keywords of the same name used for schematic TEMPLATE properties described in the User's Manual .
'msg' | Requires a second arg 3 to have two elements. Returns error message specified in second element of string. |
'empty' | Returns an empty value on error |
'literal' | (default) Returns the literal text of the expression |
Return type: string
Returns the result of evaluating the template.
This function along with ResolveTemplate are implemented using the same internal program code that implements the schematic TEMPLATE property in a netlist generation and behaves in the same way.
