Calling data from another layer

b-o

Hi,

is there a way to call datas from another layer?
ex. to draw in the active layer, I'd like to get the x value of a point from anotherLayer of myGlyph:

myGlyph.anotherLayer.contours[0].points[0].x

thinking roboFab, there should be a RLayer method or something of that sort, but I can't find one.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for!

you can access other layers easily with:

glyph = CurrentGlyph()
backgroundLayerGlyph = glyph.getLayer("background")

This returns the glyph object of a specific layer. If the layer doesn't exist a new layer with the provided name will be created.

see http://doc.robofont.com/api/robofab-extras/

UFO3 will not be embedded in the next release, but likely be in the next-next release (however I don't want to make any promises)

That would be something for UFO3 I believe.
Is that right Frederik? Any idea if/when UFO3 will be supported in RF?
