# spaggers

This is a collection of converters to the font format used by [Spiff.scad][].

[Spiff.scad]: https://github.com/stuartpb/Spiff.scad

## yaml2scad.js

A node.js script for converting a YAML-based definition of glyph points to a

Spiff.scad-compatible font. Takes the input filename as the first command line

parameter and the output filename as the second command line parameter.

### Expected YAML format

- **name**: The name of the font (eg. Spiff Sans). Output as comment.

- **author**, **version**: Also output as comments. Pretty self-explanatory.

- **prefix**: The name of the variable to assign the font to.

- **glyphs**: Mapping of glyphs to point definitions. Glyph definitions can be

  represented as an object with **paths** and **width** values, or as just the

  content of the **paths** value (in which case the **width** will be

  calculated as the rightmost-point in the paths). **paths** can be represented

  as a single path or array of paths (if the glyph is constructed of multiple

  paths), and each individual path can be represented as either an array of

  point coordinate pair arrays (eg. `[[2,2],[2,4],[4,4],[4,2]]`) or a string

  separating each coordinate by space or comma, a la SVG (eg.

  `"2,2 2,4 4,4 4,2"`). 

- **noglyph**: The fallback glyph to use.

See [spiffsans.yaml][] for an example.

[spiffsans.yaml]: https://github.com/stuartpb/spiffsans/blob/master/spiffsans.yaml

### Example usage

    node bin/yaml2scad.js spiffsans.yaml spiffsans.scad

## Coming soon

A browser-based SVG font converter (and maybe a browser implementation of

yaml2scad).
