Building parametric designspace

Using the controller to automatically build a parametric designspace from measurements.

Building the designspace with the controller

p = MyController(folder, 'My Family')

p.parametricAxes = ['XOPQ', 'YOPQ', 'XTRA', 'XTSP']
p.buildDesignspace()

Designspace build steps

By default, calling the buildDesignspace method will create a new designspace and perform the following actions:

• add blended axes
• add parametric axes
• add tuning axes (if available)
• add blend mappings
• add default source
• add parametric sources
• add tuning sources (if available)
• add custom keys to lib

Creating your own designspace builder

The default build designspace procedure can be overwritten by subclassing xProject and adding a custom buildDesignspace to the controller.

from xTools4.modules.xproject import xProject

class MyController(xProject):

    @property
    def buildDesignspace(self):
        # add your own code here

p = MyController()
p.buildDesignspace()
