For notes the tip of the callout can be guided using the at
keyword. After it you can
spacify either an entity or a marker. This is useful if you want to make a note to a specific
part of an arrow.
You can use the note.pointer
attribute to define, what the tip looks
like. It can take four values: none
, callout
, arrow
or
blockarrow
.
The position of the note is selected automatically by Msc-generator, but you can
influence the choice via the note.pos
attribute. It can take one of the
following values: near
, far
, left
, right
, up
,
down
, left_up
, left_down
, right_up
or right_down
. The
first two can be used to specify the distance from the element, whereas the rest
dictate which direction the note shall be. You can set this attribute twice if
needed, once for distance and a second time for direction.
The ‘note’ style contains text, fill and line attirbutes and also ‘note.layout’ and ‘note.pos’ to define default note layout.
