<p><tt>glifLib.py -- Generic module for reading and writing the .glif format.<br>

<br>

More info about the .glif format (GLyphInterchangeFormat) can be found here:<br>

The main class in this module is <a href="#GlyphSet">GlyphSet</a>. It manages a set of .glif files<br>
|
|
in a folder. It offers two ways to read glyph data, and one way to write<br>
|
|
glyph data. See the class doc string for details.</tt></p>
