Awesome, thanks guys!

Thank you very much ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Really substantive answer, @gferreira! Thanks!

Amazing! Thanks @gferreira

hi I was wondering if there is a way to join two (open) contours with a script. E.g. join last point of contour A with first point of contour B. If I select these points in the glyph-view and click on "Close/Join Open Contours" this works. Is there also a scripting-based way to do that? thanks, jo

good you found it! "printing" a traceback is very costly, but handy so you know what went wrong

Just tested it, no need for luck with your scripts ;-) Thanks!

hi frederik, that is a great help. segments obviously come along with some points. thanks a lot! jo

And to reply to your first questions (different rounding behavior for off curves) : This is maybe useful when the offcurves aren't extreme points and the bcp length is rather small (1-2 units). In all other cases, where the points are placed at extreme points this is not really an issue.

I agree with you guys. My way of drawing involve a lot of "add extreme points + cleanup" method, and it is… painful to work like this in RF. Just a suggestion: on removing a point, maybe the opposite handle should be kept as is, at least? If recalculation of curve is hard, I don't see a reason why both handlelength should be affected. Am I clear? (and yes, FLS' "optimize" algorithm performs well)

Which is the way to remove points from a script? segment.removePoint(ptindex) is not working (File "lib/fontObjects/robofabWrapper.pyc", line 1413, in removePoint NotImplementedError) Thanks for your help, --jca

see the transform pane in the inspector window http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/workspace/inspector/ thanks

yeah, help is great, didn't know it was available. This will be added in the next version. thanks ps: a small workaround: from defconAppKit.windows.progressWindow import ProgressWindow import pydoc ## this is actually happening in the built-in 'help' pydoc.help(ProgressWindow.update)

when will the next version be released? Robothon?

an easy example how to remove all off curve points see https://github.com/typemytype/RoboFontExamples/blob/master/pens/removeOffcurvesPen.py

No, trying to close a path for instance. Or to make 2 redudant node one. Currently the snap-to seem to apply to the target node as well.

command + c --> cutting segments out alt + del --> breaking contours on the selected points

This case is unfortunately a consequence from FLS. Superposed nodes: when deleting one of them, the remaining one should inherit the handle length. Instead, a new curve is calculated and differs greatly.
