Hello. I would absolutely love to find out the start and end node positions of a corner component:
You like to get the position of nodes of the inserted paths?
Yes, correct. Specifically, the positions of the nodes I circled in red (first and last node).
When the layer was drawn once, you can access the blue path:
print(Layer.hints[0].tempData["cornerHighlightPath"])
Wow, thanks! Not surprising I didn’t find that 
Bonus question: What does “was drawn once” mean? What if I want to process a font that is not open?
The temp data is set when the layer is draw. It should be enough to call layer.bezierPath to set the highlight path.
Thank you. I have never worked with NSBezierPath directly and am having some difficulties finding the properties I’m looking for. I can get the first point by calling path.currentPoint(), but I can’t find the last point. I went through most of the developer documentation for NSBezierPath, but I cannot find a way to get a nice, clean pythonic list of points for the path. Could you point me somewhere?
I would not call it pythonic, but this is how you get the elements of an NSBezierPath:
bezierPath = Layer.paths[0].bezierPath
for i in range(0, bezierPath.elementCount()):
element, points = bezierPath.elementAtIndex_associatedPoints_(i)
# do stuff
And this is what the output looks like:
Where element is an NSBezierPathElement and points is a tuple containing the points of that element. See the elementAtIndex:associatedPoints: docs for details on the points.
The current point is not necessarily the first point, but the point where the last drawing instruction left off. Say you perform a lineToPoint: on that Bézier path, then that point will be the new current point.
Thank you very much! I had tried something similar but didn’t know what arguments to pass to elementAtIndex_associatedPoints_(), this works perfectly. Much appreciated!
