# Scrawl-Glyphs

TypeCooker™-style drawing for Glyphs.app



## Features

* No undo. Just Tipp-Ex®

* No outline tracing. Learn to draw with Béziers yourself, you lazy dog!

## Installation

* If you are running macOS Catalina, install _Scrawl Tool_ and _Scrawl Viewer_ through Glyphs’ built-in plugin manager _(Window > Plugin Manager)_ to avoid security warnings.

## Tips

* Best used with a pen tablet.

* Press C to activate Scrawl Tool

* Press E to switch between Draw and Erase modes

* Press 1–9 to quickly adjust the drawing tool size (check context menu for wider size range)

* You can view the scrawl in other tools by activating the Scrawl Reporter via menu _View > Show Scrawl_

* Change the ratio of vertical pen size relative to horizontal pen size by adding a custom parameter called "ScrawlPenRatio" to a master. A value of 1.0 means the pen is an exact circle.

## Bugs

* Image size and position are fixed, e.g. when you change the sidebearings, the image will stay at its initial position.

* Use a recent Glyphs version. Older versions had a bug when saving more than 64 kB in the user data lib. Complex drawings may reach that limit.
