+
+#
+#
+#	demo of font.lib and glyph.lib
+#
+#
+
+from robofab.world import CurrentFont, CurrentGlyph
+
+# font.lib and glyph.lib are an idea inherited from RoboFog.
+# They are spaces to store custom data. font.lib is for
+# font-level custom data, glyph.lib is for glyph-level data.
+# They're both Python dictionaries.
+#
+# Now let's talk about your slice of the lib pie.
+# Everyone has their own little address space in the lib object.
+# This is done by advising to use a naming convention for the
+# top level keys in the lib dictionary.
+# Your address is defined by inversing your domain name.
+# For example, keys used by RoboFab start with "org.robofab",
+# LettError keys start with "com.letterror".
+# It's pretty simple, and best of all it avoids the problems
+# associated with maintaining a registry. This approach
+# to naming was pioneered by Java and has been adopted
+# by industry luminaries like Apple and RoboFab.
+# What you store in your section is completely up to you.
+# Enough of that, let's take a look at how to use the thing.
+
+# Make sure you have a font open.
+font = CurrentFont()
+
+# Essentially the lib is a dict object, and it has all properties
+# of a dict. So, following the naming scheme above, this is how
+# you access your section of the lib (but use your address!):
+font.lib['org.robofab'] = 'our address in the lib'
+font.lib['org.robofab.keepout'] = 'this also belongs to us'
+
+# Like a dict, you can simply store a string in the dict
+font.lib['org.robofab'] = 'Hello World'
+print font.lib['org.robofab']
+
+# But that is really boring! Let's store a bunch of stuff.
+# Here we can go in two directions: we can either store a
+# dict right at our address:
+font.lib['org.robofab'] = {'An Int':1, 'A Str':'Howdy!', 'A List':['X', 'Y', 'Z'], 'A Dict':{'Robo':'Fab'}}
+# Now because we have a nested dict, and we can access
+# it like any other dict let's print the stuff we just stored:
+print font.lib['org.robofab']['An Int']
+print font.lib['org.robofab']['A Str']
+print font.lib['org.robofab']['A List']
+print font.lib['org.robofab']['A Dict']
+
+# ...or we can avoid deeper nesting, and use our address as a
+# key prefix:
+font.lib['org.robofab.A'] = "A"

+# format defined by Apple.
+# In FontLab, libs are stored in the font.customdata
+# and glyph.customdata fields and it is parsed whenever
+# the lib is requested. So, don't try to put anything
+# else in those fields, otherwise the lib won't work.
+# When using UFO/GLIF, font.lib is stored in a file called
+# lib.plist in the .ufo folder, glyph.lib is stored as
+# part of the .glif file.
