Tool for measuring the thickness of the stem. You can activate it by pressing f in the glyph edit window.
You can edit its shortcut, behaviour and appearance by going to
Extensions > ↔ Stem Plow Settings.
version 1.220
Measure alwaysnow can be triggered On/Off with trigger key (works whenanchor guide to the outlineis off)- Some bug fixes that hopefully will work (github issue report)
version 1.212
Measure alwaysan option, which allows you to see the StemPlow all the time- Anchoring System ( in order to turn it on check
anchor guide to the outlinein the settings, whilemeasure alwaysis on as well )When this option is turned on as well as
measure always, use your shortcut to anchor and unanchor StemPlow to your outlines. The ruler should stick to your shape.- Displaying Named Values defined with
Laser Measure extensionby @typesupply- A tiny bit rounder corners for measurement text boxes.
- Floating points in text boxes now depend on GlyphEditor's scale. The more you scale, the more digits appear after the floating point.
version 1.2
- Update to Merz
- Changing it behaviour from "tool" to "preview on hotkey."
- I am adding a lovely settings window.
- I am making it a public version.
version 1.5
- Support for Italic Sidebearing!!! (I've written a new algorithm for intersecting glyph defcon object with a beam based on functionality from bezier library)
- New
Ignore Ovelapsfunctionality!!! When it is on, StemPlow will ignore overlapping lines inside the shape of the currently edited glyph. This functionality is always ON for glyphs made only of components. (checkout Stem Plow's settings)- Fixed some annoying output.
- Anchoring is less annoying. (is more understandable programmatically)
- I've moved StemMath to a separate repo: stemmath.
I've learned a lot about Subscribers and Merz while making this version of StemPlow. I wouldn't be able to do it, if not for @typesupply's laser measure extension Laser Measure extension. I've based a lot of math on awesome Primer on Bézier curves.
