The fontTools **pens** are a collection of classes that can operate
|
|
|
|
|
on a font glyph via the points and the contours of the glyph's outlines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some pens trace through the outlines and generate graphical output,
|
|
|
|
|
such as a new glyph outline or a formatted image, but other
|
|
|
|
|
pens analyze the outlines and return information about the glyph.

Pens that alter or produce a pen-compatible :class:`.ttGlyph` object can
|
2024-09-17 17:24:45 +01:00
|
|
|
be chained together.

|
|
|
New pens can be written by sub-classing the :class:`.AbstractPen` or,
|
|
|
|
|
somewhat more practically, :class:`.BasePen` classes. The Pen Protocol is
|
|
|
|
|
documented on the :ref:`basePen` page.
