Center components via script

Scripting
1

Hello,

I was reading the Glyphs documentation looking for a method I could apply to a layer with several layers. I would like to center all components in a layer using a script like the following button does:

The button centers the selected elements in the bounding box of the selection. You mean how to center in the width of the layer?

from Foundation import NSMidX
for c in Layer.shapes:
	pos = c.position
	pos.x += Layer.width / 2.0 - NSMidX(c.bounds)
	c.position = pos

True, I forgot to say I would like to center them in the middle of the layer just like your script does. I ended up with the same result but with much more code.

Thank you so much,
Ricard.
