Can I use Python scripts to control and adjust the distance between any two parallel lines

These functions, such as degrees and atan2, cannot be found in the official Glyphs.app Python Scripting API Documentation document. Where can I learn their functions and related knowledge.

degrees and atan2 are common graphics function and not specific to Glyphs. In Python, they are provided by the math module (hence the from math import degrees, atan2 on the first line).

Where can I learn the relevant knowledge of moving the relevant segment orthogonally to its orientation? I cannot find inspiration in the official documentation

I am not 100% sure what you are trying to do but this code might help:

Position a node at right angles relative to a line with Python

This code does it: import math def movePoint(x1, y1, x2, y2, t, offset): angle = math.atan2(y2 - y1, x2 - x1) tx = x1 + (x2 - x1) * t ty = y1 + (y2 - y1) * t dx = math.sin(angle) * offset dy = math.cos(angle) * offset return NSMakePoint(tx + dx, ty - dy) position = movePoint(P1.x, P1.y, P2.x, P2.y, 1, 10) P3.x = position.x P3.y = position.y I have added an extra parameter t to the function that lets you decide where on the line from P1 to P2 you want to offset the new point. Set t = 0 …
