Drawing open contour

[Frank Grießhammer]

I am looking for a way to draw an open contour in a non-UI workflow.

It seems that pen.endPath() always closes the contour.

contour.removeSegment(-1) also results in a closed contour.

I am aware I likely need to write a new pen, but where to start?

Any pointers, code examples, etc. much appreciated!

Thank you!

Frank

You can do this in defcon:

###

from defcon import Font
font = Font()
font.newGlyph("A")
glyph = font["A"]
pen = glyph.getPen()
pen.moveTo((0, 0))
pen.lineTo((100, 100))
pen.endPath()
contour = glyph[0]
for point in contour:
print point.segmentType

Perfect! Easier than I thought!
