A Glyphs.app filter plug-in for stripping off stripes from your glyph shapes.
Filter > Stripper overlays your glyph shapes with a repeating stripe pattern and intersects them, cutting the outlines into parallel bands.
Pick a stripe thickness, a gap between stripes, and a rotation angle — and the filter will intersect your glyph outlines with the resulting stripe grid.
Install the filter through Window > Plugin Manager > Plugins. Make sure Python is installed in the Modules section. After installation, you need to restart the app.
In Edit view, pick Stripper from the Filter menu. But you can also add it as a Filter custom parameter in Font Info > Exports, with a value such as Stripper; thickness:60; gap:20; angle:5 (adjust the values to your needs).
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
thickness |
Height of each stripe | 60 |
gap |
Space between stripes | 20 |
angle |
Clockwise rotation of the stripe grid in degrees | 5 |
Stripper requires Glyphs 3 or later. Tested in version 3.5. If you have an older version of the app, please upgrade and/or update your app.
