Add/change brace layer

Scripting
1

Hi,

I’m trying to add brace layers through scripting in Glyphs 3, something which was pretty straight forward in Glyphs 2. I can add the layers, but something appears to be missing to get Glyphs to accept the coordinates using code like this:

newLayer = GSLayer()
Font.glyphs['A'].layers.append(newLayer)
newLayer.setAttribute_forKey_({newLayer.layerId:60}, 'coordinates')

Using an NSDict gives the same result. And also trying to change coordinates for existing brace layers using setAttribute_forKey_().

Any pointers would be appreciated. :slight_smile:

newLayer = GSLayer()
Font.glyphs['A'].layers.append(newLayer)
axes = Font.axes
newLayer.attributes["coordinates"] = {axes[0].axisId : 60}
