[!NOTE] This readme will be updated soon, describing all the new features and behaviour of this plugin. So long, this readme is a little outdated but gives you a basic idea.
Display Zones per master, per script in different colors. Optionally with a name and overshoot, or dashed if itâs just a line.
Zones as pair
Zones as line
Either type of zone can have an overshoot:
Pair
overshoots go into both directions away from the zone.
Line
overshoots go up for y-positions higher than 0 and downwards otherwise.
a) Create it from scratch:
In Font Info
> Masters
add a new Custom Parameter for each desired master, called MarkZones
b) From a selection:
You can select a path or some nodes and use the context menu (right click into the Edit View) > Make Mark Zone
, which will create a zone from the selectionâs vertical dimensions.
Then you can adjust the created zone in the user interface by clicking on the custom parameter.
You can have multiple zones (even of the 2 different kinds) in one custom parameter. That way you can group them under the same name and color.
But you can have also multiple MarkZone custom parameters per master, go wild!
If a Zone is called "Anchors", all anchors that are not on one of those zones will be highlighted
Nodes on zones will be highlighted if they are on a zoneâs overshoot or exactly on the border of a zone.
It is best to hide the GlyphsApp metrics (â+â§+M
), because this plugin draws its own metrics
You can toggle display of a zone via the checkbox for the Custom Parameter, if you want to keep but hide it
