SOLVED RComponent.position not working
-
Looking for a way to get the “absolute” coordinates of a component, I stumbled on RComponent.position in the documentation.
But when I run this I get a trackback in both current beta and last release:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<untitled>", line 4, in <module> File "/Applications/RoboFont.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.7/fontParts/base/base.py", line 90, in __get__ File "/Applications/RoboFont.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.7/fontParts/base/base.py", line 746, in _get_base_position File "/Applications/RoboFont.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.7/fontParts/base/base.py", line 758, in _get_position AttributeError: 'RComponent' object has no attribute 'x'
I’m not sure if this is something that is not implemented (yet/anymore) or if I am using it wrongly.
What would be the best way to figure out the position of a given component?
Thanks for your help.

component.position
will be removed in future version, as it was a bug :)

Ah, good to know. I haven’t seen that issue.
Thanks for the snippet, that helps a lot!

hello @benedikt,
this is a known bug in FontParts, see this issue.
this seems to work:
glyph = CurrentGlyph() component = glyph.components[1] bounds = component.layer[component.baseGlyph].bounds if bounds: x = bounds[0] + component.offset[0] y = bounds[1] + component.offset[1] print(x, y)
thanks!
