How can I draw a circle path int the glyphs of the font use the script，I didn’t find the interface in the API document
Do you like to add a circle path to the glyph or draw a circle (on screen or a PDF)?
Sorry，my English is poor.A large paragraph is written below, which may be inaccurate, please forgive me:smile:.
Yes,I want to check all glyphs datas in the font,and marking error with a circle on the wrong place. So I want save a PDF with my marked circle.
At first ,I try add annotation by GSAnnotation,but it cann’t save to PDF,and you tell me use Drawbot plug-in ,but I didn’t be used well，so I thought that ，is it possible to realize by directly draw a circle path maked the wrong place in the glyphs ?Because the path can save PDF .
You should try to get up to speed with drawbot. Here is a script I found (https://github.com/AlphabetType/DrawBot-Scripts/blob/master/createGlyphsPDF.py) and adapted to work in Glyphs:
It is a bit more complicated as it should be but you should get an idea on how it works.

_drawGlyph will fail its job if a glyph has components. Since there is no error handling, the entire script will break. Just a little observation in case it doesn’t run for some people.
Thank first， when I run the code ，it‘s successful，but when I export（ File → Export),it show that like the picture.
I have fixed the crash, so please get the latest version of the drawbot plugin by opening the Plugin Manager and restarting Glyphs.
I changed Glyphs that it can handle the original script, but I need some time to prepare an update.
for now, I changed the script a bit that it can handle components:
