1 year ago when the positions are negative the radius gradients don't seem to impact on the pixels at all.
This is now fixed.
It is visible when layer 1 is positioned, then changing the position of layer 2 will also alter the positions of layer 1.
This is now fixed.
I need to find a way to make the gray instead.
This is now fixed.
How to draw multiple shapes in one layer? (See the current code below. Now multiple shapes are drawn in that layer, but the does not seem to work. Only returning if one is returned.)
I don't understand this. We paint the dot glyph twice, once with the radial gradient for layer 1 and once for the gradient with layer 2. If we want to add a new shape, we do the same process again but with a different dot glyph.

This improves the build process as described in #3. The idea is this:
1) Just build the variable font without any COLR axes. This cuts down on the number of masters and improves the build time. (The full font now builds in ten minutes.) 2) Use paintcompiler to add the COLR axes and paint tree.
This has multiple benefits; the code is smaller and simpler, the number of masters is greatly reduced, and the COLR axes now act more like "keyframes" in an animation sense rather than like masters in a type design sense. In other words they can act as "true independent axes", and new positions along those axes are essentially free.
Because they don't need to be defined as separate masters, I was able to change the default positions of the COLR axes as mentioned in #3 to put the defaults at LR1S=500, LR2S=500. I set the minimum of the -X and -Y axes to -500 and the default to zero, but I am not sure I am getting the behaviour that you want; when the positions are negative the radius gradients don't seem to impact on the pixels at all. But I'll keep looking at that. Now I can get the full build working, I can see the canvas, which is helpful to debug it.
