Creating an offcurve node in 2.3

Scripting
1

Possibly related to Cannot check node type , one of my scripts used to work but now doesn’t, and I’ve narrowed it down to:

> print(GSNode((100,200), GSOFFCURVE).type)
line

(The docs say to use OFFCURVE rather than GSOFFCURVE, but NameError: name 'OFFCURVE' is not defined.)

I usually need to do a specific from GlyphsApp import OFFCURVE, LINE etc., not sure why your first line does not work. What happens after you add it to a path?

3

I get a line, not a curve. But I will try with the import.

4 
> from GlyphsApp import OFFCURVE
> print(GSNode((100,200), OFFCURVE).type)
line

:frowning:

5 
> from GlyphsApp import OFFCURVE
> print(GSNode((100,200), type=OFFCURVE).type)

Aha, thank you very much! Here’s a docpatch:

Applied, thanks
