# Python development for Glyphs.app



These are text editor snippets intended to facilitate Python (both 2 and 3) development for Glyphs.app. Have fun. 



**TextMate:** Since I use TextMate myself, the TextMate snippets can safely be assumed to be up to date most of the time. 



**Sublime Text:** Newer versions of Sublime Text can read TextMate bundles, so you are up to date automatically. See installation instructions below.



**Atom:** Since I don’t use Atom, I depend on other people’s pull requests. Hence, the Atom snippets are usually out of date. If you want up-to-date snippets for Atom, feel free to contribute to this repository on a regular basis.



### Snippets



* `gspy⇥` Basic structure of a Glyphs script that iterates through selected layers.

* `title⇥` MenuTitle (name of the script as it appears in the *Script* menu) and docstring (text for the tooltip).

* `clear⇥` Clears the Macro Window log.

* `macro⇥` Clears the Macro Window log and brings the Macro Window to the front.

* `angle⇥` Function returning the angle between two points.

* `center⇥` Convenience function returning the center (as NSPoint) of an NSRect.

* `circle⇥` Function returning a GSPath containing a circle.

* `otclass⇥` Function that creates or (if it already exists) updates an OpenType class.

* `otfeature⇥` Function that creates or (if it already exists) updates an OpenType feature.

* `italic⇥` Function that returns a point position that respects an italic angle.

* `offset⇥` Function that offsets a GSLayer.

* `round⇥` Function that rounds the corners of a GSLayer.

* `measurement⇥` Function that returns intersection points (like the Measurement tool does) of the decomposed and overlap-removed layer.

* `msg⇥` Function for displaying a simple (non-Vanilla) message dialog.

* `select⇥` Adds item on a layer to the user selection.

* `tab⇥` Opens a new tab with supplied text or collection of layers.

* `transform⇥` Function for creating a NSAffineTransform object, necessary for shifting, scaling, skewing, rotating.

* `bezier⇥` Function for returning the x,y for a given t on a cubic Bézier curve segment.

* `clipboard⇥` Function for setting the clipboard.

* `random⇥` Import the *random* library, seed, and create a random integer.

* `sort⇥` Sort a list of objects by a certain attribute of those objects (e.g. layers by their max y).

* `terminal⇥` Execute a Terminal (bash) command.

* `trace⇥` Import the *traceback* library and print a traceback. Useful for *except* clauses.

* `subtract⇥` Subtract GSPath objects.

* `intersect⇥` Intersect GSPath objects.

* `timer⇥` Method for taking and reporting elapsed time.

* `notification⇥` Display a floating notification in top right corner of screen.

* `write⇥` Method *saveFileInLocation()* for writing UTF-8 string into a new file.

* `keys⇥` NSEvent algorithm for determining which modifier keys are pressed by the user.

* `g23⇥` Differentiating code for Glyphs 2 and 3.

* `fut⇥` The *from future* imports for Glyphs 2/3 and Python 2/3 compatibility.

* `update⇥` Send an interface update notification to the Notification Center. Only use this to force a UI update if Glyphs does not redraw as it should. (Glyphs 2 only.)



#### Vanilla-specific snippets



* `gsgui⇥` Basic structure of a Glyphs script with a dialog (GUI). Uses Vanilla.

* `pref⇥` Register, load, register & load, or save preferences for Vanilla GUI items.

* `button⇥` Vanilla popup and square button.

* `text⇥` Vanilla text box or text edit field.

* `checkbox⇥` Vanilla checkbox.

* `radio⇥` Vanilla radiobuttons.

* `progress⇥` Vanilla progress bar.

* `tooltip⇥` Tooltip for a Vanilla object.

* `vanilla⇥` Show help for Vanilla classes.



#### Plugin SDK-specific snippets



* `dec⇥` Decorators.

* `rgb⇥` NSColor object with RGB definition.

* `plugindef⇥` Function definition structure better suited for the [Plugin SDK](https://github.com/schriftgestalt/GlyphsSDK/).

* `log⇥` Log a message to the console.

* `url⇥` Prefill the *productPageURL* or *updateFeedURL* entry of a plug-in’s *Info.plist* with a GitHub URL.

* `key⇥` Define a keyboard shortcut for a plug-in, including the modifier keys.

* `cond⇥` Inserts the `conditionsAreMetForDrawing()` method for [Reporter plug-ins](https://github.com/schriftgestalt/GlyphsSDK/tree/master/Python%20Templates/Reporter). It will return `False` if the user is in text mode or switched to the Hand tool (H).



### Installation



* TextMate bundle: double click to install

* Sublime Text: Open *Sublime Text > Preferences > Browse Packages…* and move the `Python for Glyphs.tmbundle` into the folder that appears

* Atom: move to `~/.atom/packages/python-to-glyphs`
