Smooth point not displayed

[connor]

I think this is directly related to this tweet, but if I set a point.smooth = True via a script, the glyph outline is not actually changed despite calling g.update() after. Is this the intended behavior?
Thanks!

imagine!!! this still works ;)

Thanks for the pointer, Frederik. I actually stumbled across this, that solves my problem. https://forum.robofont.com/topic/230/on-curve-tangent-point-state-report/3
Thank god for @mathieu-christe, asking a similiar question 7+ years ago haha:)

ha point.smooth is not so smart :)

what should it do? there is a lot of choices here:

RoboFont does the average and snaps if its close to 0° or 90°.

use a bPoints and set the bcpIn and bcpOut

good luck, you will need some cos and sin math :)

In this example, I have a point that is being set to smooth but the only thing changing visually is the color of the point, the offcurves are not being affected as if I had set the point to smooth with the key command. Is there a way to have the offcurve points reflect the change via a script?

[frederik]

could you provide an example... this should work :)
