x XCoordinate of the anchor point y YCoordinate of the anchor point p Curve point on the glyph to use as the anchor point xdev Device table (delta) for the xcoordinate ydev Device table (delta) for the ycoordinate xid XIdAnchor for multiple master horizontal metric id yid YIdAnchor for multiple master vertical metric id METHODS

The file handle is left at an arbitrary read point, usually the end of something! out($fh, $style) Outputs the Anchor to the given file handle at this point also addressing issues of deltas. If $style is set, then no output is sent to the file handle. The return value is the output string. $a->out_xml($context) Outputs the anchor in XML AUTHOR
