MFEKstroke
Matthew Blanchard <matthewrblanchard@gmail.com>; Fredrick R. Brennan <copypaste???kittens???ph>; MFEK Authors
A utility for applying stroking techniques to contours (in UFO .glif format).

|
CWS |
Takes a .glif file and strokes it at a constant width. | ||
|
DASH |
Applies a dash to a glyph. | ||
|
NIB |
Takes a nib and a path, both in .glif format, and emulates a pen, with the chosen nib, stroking the path. |
Important note: FontForge is used for this, so it may be more unstable than other modes as FontForge is implemented in C and not memory safe. To prevent bugs, we turn off simplification and overlap removal. Use MFEK for that.

PAP |
Maps a pattern glyph along a path glyph. | ||
|
VWS |
Takes a .glif file and strokes it with variable width. |

MFEKstroke-DASH
MFEKstroke−DASH 0.1.0
Fredrick R. Brennan <copypaste???kittens.ph>; MFEK Authors; Skia/kurbo.rs authors
Applies a dash to a glyph.
USAGE
MFEKstroke DASH [OPTIONS] −−input <input> −−output <output>
OPTIONS
−i, −−input <input>
The path to the input glif file.
−o, −−output <output>
The path to the output glif file.
−d, −−dash−description <dash>...
Dash description [default: 30 30]
−c, −−cull
Attempt to cull earlier dashes when later dashes cover them
−w, −−width <width>
Stroke width (to leave an open contour, use 0) [default: 30]
−W, −−cull−width <cull−width>
Cull width [default: 40]
−a, −−min−area <area>
Paths with either a height or width below this number are culled. Do not set if unsure.
−l, −−write−last
Write last path
−j, −−join <join−type>
How to join discontinuous splines [default: round] [possible values: round, miter, bevel]

MFEKstroke-NIB
MFEKstroke−NIB 0.1.0
Fredrick R. Brennan <copypaste???kittens???ph>; Skef Iterum (FontForge)
Takes a nib and a path, both in .glif format, and emulates a pen, with the chosen nib, stroking the path.
Important note: FontForge is used for this, so it may be more unstable than other modes as FontForge is implemented in C and not memory safe. To prevent bugs, we turn off simplification and overlap removal. Use MFEK for that.
USAGE
MFEKstroke NIB [OPTIONS] −−nib <nib> −−input <input> −−output <output>
OPTIONS
−n, −−nib <nib>
The path to the nib file. FontForge is quite strict about these. The .glif must contain a single closed spline, running clockwise, which represents a convex shape.
−i, −−input <input>
The path to the input path file.
−o, −−output <output>
The path where the output .glif will be saved.
−a, −−accuracy <accuracy>
<f64> Accuracy target [default: 0.25]

MFEKstroke-PAP
MFEKstroke−PAP 0.2.1
Matthew Blanchard <matthewrblanchard@gmail.com>; Fredrick R. Brennan <copypaste???kittens.ph>; MFEK Authors
Maps a pattern glyph along a path glyph.
USAGE
MFEKstroke PAP [OPTIONS] −−path <path>
OPTIONS
−p, −−pattern
<pattern>
The path to the input pattern file. You may also provide either −−dot−pattern or −−dash−pattern to use built−in patterns.
−=, −−dash−pattern
Use a simple dash pattern
−., −−dot−pattern
Use a simple dot pattern
−P, −−path <path>
The path to the input path file.
−o, −−output <output>
The path where the output will be saved. If omitted, or ‘−‘, stdout.
−c, −−contour <contour>
<isize> if this is a positive number we stroke only that specific contour in the outline by index. [default: -1]
−m, −−mode <mode>
Repeat mode. [default: single] [possible values: single, repeated]
−s, −−subdivide <subdivide>
<usize> how many times to subdivide the patterns at their midpoint. [default: 0]
−X, −−sx <sx>
<f64> how much we scale our input pattern on the x−axis. [default: 1]
−Y, −−sy <sy>
<f64> how much we scale our input pattern on the y−axis. [default: 1]
−n, −−noffset <normal−offset>
<f64> how much to offset the pattern along the normal of the path. [default: 0]
−t, −−toffset <tangent−offset>
<f64> how much to offset the pattern along the tangent of the path. [default: 0]
−W, −−spacing <spacing>
<f64> how much padding to trail each copy with. [default: 0]
−!, −−stretch <stretch>
<stretch> false if not given, true if given, spacing mode if value of spacing given [possible values: spacing]
−S, −−simplify
<boolean> if we should run the result through Skia’s (buggy) simplify routine.
−O, −−overdraw <overdraw>
<f64> pattern copies overlapping more than arg% are removed. [default: 100%]
−Q, −−one−pass
<boolean> whether we should not reflow the path after culling during overdraw (faster but worse).

<boolean> supply if you wish to center the pattern
−r, −−reverse
<boolean> true will reverse the path.
−R, −−reverse−culling
<boolean> true will reverse the order we check for overlaps during overlap culling.
