## INSTANCE VARIABLES

- 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

### new

Creates a new Anchor

### read($fh)

Reads the anchor from the given file handle at that point. The file handle is left at an arbitrary read point, usually the end of something!

### out($fh, $style)
