BoundingBoxes of lists

[n8willis]

.bounds() only works for an individual BezierPath. In the fairly common case of creating a BezierPath.fromFonttoolsGlyph(), what you get back is actually a list of BezierPaths, so .bounds and its peers aren't directly usable.

Unless one of the asSomethingorother() representations actually solves this, and I'm not seeing it, that is?

I suppose a lot of the issues I'm opening lately really boil down to the fact that 'list of BezierPaths' a more common glyph topology than 'single BezierPath' is. So it seems like (IMO) there's enough to warrant the idea of representing that as a class. Have you explored that?

I haven't, because this wasn't specifically a glyph-based library (but was specifically a bezier-path-based library). But I do see a lot of opportunities for looking at things on a list-of-paths level. It always did feel a little off that fontFonttoolsGlyph created a list of paths when everything else created a path.

I think it's worthwhile. I don't know when I'll get around to it.
