igds_type: igds_multi_text
Multi-text string features correspond to an IGDS text node (element type 7) grouping together a series of IGDS text elements (element type 17), each of which have their complex bit turned on. This feature uses the same attribute names as a text node, plus it has a feature attribute list of text string attributes. The list is called igds_text_elements{#}, where # starts at 0 and increments for each text element. The list’s item names are identical to the text string features attributes.
Multi-text features are point features, and only have a single coordinate. This coordinate is used when the text node is created. If the feature had no coordinates of its own, the text node is created with the coordinates of the first text string. The coordinates for each of the text strings are stored in the FME feature using the following attribute names.
