'Sharp/Smooths connections' via python

[emtype]

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to fix the sharp connections via python but I didn't find the solution.

I think that "NodeConnectionSmooth" is equivalente to: ctrl + click > connection/smooth

I tried many things like this:

Code:

from FL import *

for g in f.glyphs:
g.SelectAll()
fl.TransformGlyph(g, 15, "") # recalculate connections   >> OK
#fl.TransformGlyph(g, 40141, "") #NodeConnectionSmooth >> NO
fl.CallCommand(40141) #NodeConnectionSmooth >> NO
fl.UpdateFont()

But I can't achieve that "NodeConnectionSmootht" works, I tried with CallCommand and TransformGlyph (I don't know if it's possible with this last one...)


Thanks in advance, em.


* the script need some conditionals to be usefull...

Hello,

You can do something like this to chage the alignment type of a node:

Code:

glyph = fl.glyph
for node in glyph.nodes:
if node.type == nCURVE and node.alignment != nSMOOTH:
node.alignment = nSMOOTH
fl.UpdateGlyph(fl.iglyph)

... but this doesn't move the nodes or control points. It changes the behavior of the control points if you touch them with the mouse.

If you want to move the control points to form a straight with the node, you have to do the math (and movement) yourself.

Eigi,

I had already found something similar to your script:

Code:

from robofab.world import CurrentFont

f = CurrentFont()
 
for c in f:
for contour in c:
for segment in contour:
segment.smooth = True

It's the same behavior, only change the type of node but don't change the BCPs.

Never mind, I have already been changing it manually in thousand of glyphs...

Thank you for you reply, em.
