The point feature class PLT_PLOT_DECORATION_TEXT stores static text information that is used in plots and plot templates. While plot label text is dynamic and is retrieved for each plot from the database (PLT_PLOT), plot decoration text is static and the same for all plots.
For stylization, PLT_PLOT_DECORATION_TEXT is loaded as an annotation layer. For stylization and configuration use the decoration text properties as shown in the following table.
In Infrastructure Map Server, when you enter a decoration text, reference records can be defined to enter consistent attributes for styling. For example, use a reference record Heading 1 to set ID_TEXT_SIZE = Large, and ID_TEXT_STYLE = Bold. And use a reference record Heading 2 to set ID_TEXT_SIZE = Medium, and ID_TEXT_STYLE = Normal. For information about reference records, see "Using Reference Records" in the User's Guide.
Decoration text that has been defined in a plot template, and that is not locked, can be edited directly in the dialog box. For each decoration text, a field appears in the section. You can specify the caption of the field as shown in the following table.
| PLT_PLOT_DECORATION_TEXT attribute name | Caption | Description |
|---|---|---|
FIELD_NAME | Additional Plot Information Field Name | Specifies the caption of the field to enter decoration text. |
