Description

A Contour object is a list of segments. A segment is a list of points with some special attributes and methods.

Understanding Contours and outlines

The way outline data is organised in RoboFab, and how the various objects relate is described here: understanding contours.

Attributes

type

Type of segment.

smooth

True if the segment is smooth, False if not.

selected

Returns True if the segment is selected, False if not.

points

List of points in the segment.

onCurve

Returns the oncurve point associated with the segment.

offCurve

Returns a list of offcurve points associated with the segment.

Attribute examples

# robofab manual
# Segment object
# attribute examples

f = OpenFont()

for g in f:
    for contour in g:
        for segment in contour:
            print len(segment)
            print segment.type
            print segment.smooth
            print segment.points
            print segment.onCurve
            print segment.offCurve
            print segment.selected

Methods

copy()

Return a deepcopy of the object.

move((x, y))

Move the anchor of the bPoint to (x,y). The relative coordinates of the bcpIn and bcpOut will remain the same, which means that in fact, they move the same distance.

round()

Round the coordinates to whole integers.

transform(matrix)

Transform this point. Use a Transform matrix object to mess with the point.

Method examples

        for segment in contour:
            segment.move((50, 25))
