I am drawing some contours using Robofont layer access (both via scripting and drawing window).</p>
<p dir="auto">Is it possible to access to this contours via Robofab (for example launching a script from Terminal) in some way?</p>
<p dir="auto">I can't find documentation about layers in the Robofab website.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks</p>

<p dir="auto">you can find the RoboFont add ons for robofab API docs here: <a href="http://doc.robofont.com/api/robofab-extras/" rel="nofollow">http://doc.robofont.com/api/robofab-extras/</a></p>
<p dir="auto">to get access to your layers data:</p>
<pre><code class="language-python"># get the current glyph from the current layer
glyph = CurrentGlyph()

# get a layer
layerGlyph = glyph.getLayer("background")
# if the layer doesn't exist it will create one
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">This API is only available in RoboFont. The UFO3 robofab will be able to handle layer data in NoneLab.</p>
<p dir="auto">Otherwise you can install the RoboFont shell script that allows you to execute scripts in RoboFont.<br />
see the <em>Extensions &gt; Shell</em> tab in the preferences <a href="http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/workspace/preferences/extensions/" rel="nofollow">http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/workspace/preferences/extensions/</a></p>
<p dir="auto">good luck</p>
