Can I lock and unlock guides via script?

[StephenNixon]

In Robofont 3 (built 1803062007)

I have a simple script that adds or removes a grid of guides to a glyph. The only issue is that these block drawing if I don't also right-click and "lock guides."

Is there a way to set guides as locked? I'm not finding the method or data descriptor in the CurrentFont(), CurrentGlyph(), CurrentGlyph().guidelines[0], or the naked() versions of these.

I also don't see it at http://robofont.com/documentation/workspace/glyph-editor/guidelines/?highlight=lock guides.

Am I missing something, or is it not currently possible?

from mojo.UI import setDefault
getDefault("glyphViewLockGuides", True) # set to False to unlock

One quick edit to your code snippet, for the next person who sees this: the method has to be setDefault(), not getDefault(). Obviously a simple typo, and it was simple to correct. :)

So, the code needs to be:

from mojo.UI import setDefault
setDefault("glyphViewLockGuides", True) # set to False to unlock

Thanks again for the help!
