getNoteChar

This method is supposed to have access to a list of note characteristic records. It also takes an integer index as parameter and should return a list of note characteristics for the corresponding note. This list of note characteristic records should have the same number of elements as the corresponding name list described above, that means, there should be one entry for each note type.

The characteristics record returned should contain the following items:

(<reference>,<placement>,<colour>,<layer>, <flip_angle>)

<reference> is a string defining the location of the reference point. The allowed values are described below:

<placement> is a string defining the location of the note body in case no reference lines are used. The placement is related to the reference point and the values refer to the circumscribed rectangle of the note body.

<placement> is built up by two values, one for horizontal placement and one for vertical placement that are concatenated without delimiters to form one string. The allowed values are described below:

Origin refers to the point (0,0) in the local coordinate system used when building up the note body further explained below. All combinations of these values are valid, for example, LeftLower or MidOrigin.

<colour> is a string giving the name of a colour selected from the standard set.

<layer> is either a string defining a named layer existing in the Layer Alias File (see User's Guide Drafting), or an integer number giving the layer. The created note component will then get this layer.

<flip_angle> is an integer number defining the angle in degrees where the note text along a line changes from one side of the line to the other. The angle must be between 0 and 180 degrees.
