Guide.pos

  • Python type: Position

  • Required field

Guide.name

  • Python type: str

If not provided, defaults to None.

Guide.color

  • Python type: Color

If not provided, defaults to None.

Guide._formatspecific

  • Python type: dict

Each object in Babelfont has an optional attached dictionary to allow the storage of format-specific information. Font creation software may store any additional information that they wish to have preserved on import and export under a namespaced (reverse-domain) key in this dictionary. For example, information specific to the Glyphs software should be stored under the key com.glyphsapp. The value stored under this key may be any data serializable in JSON; typically it will be a dict.

Note that there is an important distinction between the Python object format of this field and the Babelfont-JSON representation. When stored to JSON, this key is exported not as _formatspecific but as a simple underscore (_).
