This is a plugin for Glyphs 3.
💡 Minimum Glyphs version: build 3062
.
Note
This readme will be updated soon, describing all the new features and behaviour of this plugin. So long, this readme is a little outdated but gives you a basic idea.
Display Zones per master, per script in different colors. Optionally with a name and overshoot, or dashed if it’s just a line.
- Zones as
pair
- Zones as
line
Either type of zone can have an overshoot:
Pair
overshoots go into both directions away from the zone.Line
overshoots go up for y-positions higher than 0 and downwards otherwise.
a) Create it from scratch:
- In
Font Info
>Masters
add a new Custom Parameter for each desired master, calledMarkZones
b) From a selection:
- You can select a path or some nodes and use the context menu (right click into the Edit View) >
Make Mark Zone
, which will create a zone from the selection’s vertical dimensions.
Then you can adjust the created zone in the user interface by clicking on the custom parameter.
- You can have multiple zones (even of the 2 different kinds) in one custom parameter. That way you can group them under the same name and color.
- But you can have also multiple MarkZone custom parameters per master, go wild!
- If a Zone is called "Anchors", all anchors that are not on one of those zones will be highlighted
- Nodes on zones will be highlighted if they are on a zone’s overshoot or exactly on the border of a zone.
- It is best to hide the GlyphsApp metrics (
⌘+⇧+M
), because this plugin draws its own metrics - You can toggle display of a zone via the checkbox for the Custom Parameter, if you want to keep but hide it
- See issues
Expand if you’re curious.
- New in GlyphsApp's Plugin Manager
- Custom Parameter now as a UI, so you don’t have to write it manually
