@justvanrossum thanks so much!
For anyone else trying this, for some reason I was getting an error when I had
from fontTools.pens.recordingPen import RecordingPen
error was
ImportError: No module named recordingPen
Perhaps because recordingPen.py isn't in the version of fontTools packaged with RoboFont?
Anyway, I just copy/pasted the whole RecordingPen code from fontTools into my script:
from fontTools.pens.basePen import AbstractPen
class RecordingPen(AbstractPen):
"""Pen recording operations that can be accessed or replayed.
The recording can be accessed as pen.value; or replayed using
pen.replay(otherPen).
Usage example:
==============
from fontTools.ttLib import TTFont
from fontTools.pens.recordingPen import RecordingPen
glyph_name = 'dollar'
font_path = 'MyFont.otf'
font = TTFont(font_path)
glyphset = font.getGlyphSet()
glyph = glyphset[glyph_name]
pen = RecordingPen()
glyph.draw(pen)
print(pen.value)
"""
def __init__(self):
self.value = []
def moveTo(self, p0):
self.value.append(('moveTo', (p0,)))
def lineTo(self, p1):
self.value.append(('lineTo', (p1,)))
def qCurveTo(self, *points):
self.value.append(('qCurveTo', points))
def curveTo(self, *points):
self.value.append(('curveTo', points))
def closePath(self):
self.value.append(('closePath', ()))
def endPath(self):
self.value.append(('endPath', ()))
def addComponent(self, glyphName, transformation):
self.value.append(('addComponent', (glyphName, transformation)))
def replay(self, pen):
replayRecording(self.value, pen)
and now I can run the script that Just wrote above. Thanks again!
