Change Direction

Post by Husham »

HI,
I suggest to add change direction to available features inside glyph transform window. (like optimize contours).

Tricky for glyphs that have more than one contour, some of which may have the correct direction. I think the real-time glyph validator is better. Run glyph validation to group all glyphs with errors.

Hi,
This option will be up to user, to use it in some special cases, I am sure it will be useful.

Thanks 🙏

There is already a 'Fix Contour Direction' option in the Transform Wizard. But if you aren't wanting to fix the directions but to change the directions then maybe Erwin could make the change direction button work when multiple glyphs are selected from the Glyph Overview Panel.

I can't see this feature being very useful however. How often do you want to change the direction of multiple glyphs ? The 'Fix Contour Direction' option in the Transform Wizard is sufficient for my needs.

Hello Paul,

I think there is a difference between fixing and changing direction, maybe in some case user needs to fix other case needs to change, it is depends on the situation, any way it is up to Erwin
