I wonder if Glyphs App is capable of automatically connecting single nodes defined by coordinates …
What do you mean? Where do you get the coordinates from?
I mean placing the nodes on the artboard and getting Glyphs to connect them.
The coordinates come from a typeface that has been created within specialised computer software.
And how do you place them? By hand? or with a script?
So far by hand, but would prefer a script.
You can do so with a layer pen. What’s your experience with Python?
When you use the pen tool, the nodes are connected automatically. Other than that, you need to write a script.
mekkablue: thanks—Python: I think of large snakes :-). As you can see, my scripting skills are non-existent. But not to worry, I’ll use the pen tool.
Thanks for the comments.
We have a four-step tutorial that gets you started in Python. You can learn it in an afternoon.
