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 .

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.
