FL.objects.Hint.Hint

class FL.objects.Hint.Hint(hint_or_position: Hint | int | None = None, width: int | None = None)

Bases: Copyable

Hint - class to represent hint

This class is Multiple Master - compatible

__init__(hint_or_position: Hint | int | None = None, width: int | None = None) → None

Hint()

generic constructor, creates a Hint with zero coordinates

Hint(Hint)

copy constructor

Hint(position, width)

creates a Hint and assigns position and width values

Parameters:

• hint_or_position (Hint | int | None) – _description_

• width (int | None, optional) – _description_. Defaults to None.

Methods

ToLink()	Transforms hint to Link (and returns it as a result) using parent as a source of node coordinates.
Transform(m)	Apply Matrix transformation to the Hint (see Matrix().__doc__)
TransformLayer(m, layernum)	Apply Matrix transformation to the selected layer of the Hint
__init__([hint_or_position, width])	Hint()
fake_deserialize(data)
fake_serialize()

Attributes

parent	Hint's parent object, Glyph
position	Position of the hint
positions	List of positions for each master
width	Width of the hint
widths	List of widths for each master

ToLink() → Link

Transforms hint to Link (and returns it as a result) using parent as a source of node coordinates. Parent must exist

Returns:

The Link.

Return type:

Link

Transform(m: Matrix) → None

Apply Matrix transformation to the Hint (see Matrix().__doc__)

Parameters:

m (Matrix) – _description_

TransformLayer(m: Matrix, layernum: int) → None

Apply Matrix transformation to the selected layer of the Hint

Parameters:

• m (Matrix) – _description_

• layernum (int) – _description_

property parent: Glyph | None
