In the FontTools segment pen protocol, when the last segment of a closed contour is a line, the same contour can be represented in two alternative ways:
closepath
or SVG'sZ
commands.This new filter pen makes sure that the final line segment (iff there is one, which is not necessarily the case for a closed contour may well end with a curve) is always drawing explicitly with its own lineTo command, and never left implicit by closePath. This is basically equivalent to doing
PointToSegmentPen(SegmentToPointPen(pen), outputImpliedClosingLine=True)
, but is more direct.This can be useful when working with pen drawing commands (as opposed to unambiguously explicit contour points) and one intends to normalize two paths in order to test whether they are interpolation compatible (i.e. contain the same number/types of segments).
