support alignment attribute of components

See original GitHub issue

Components in .glyphs source files may contain an alignment attribute.

There’s no mention about this in the GlyphsFileFormat.md specification.

In my observations, it can take a value of 1 or -1; and I suppose that when the attribute is missing the value is 0?

I am not sure what these values do, and how a user can set them from the interface. I’d be nice if @schriftgestalt could shed some light on this, so we can add support in glyphsLib.

I’ll add it to ‘classes.py’

thanks for the clarification. I think we would still like to export this alignment data inside a glif’s lib, so that we can roundtrip it when going the other way around.

I’m going to keep this open until we do that.

Since the lib applies to the glyph as a whole instead of the single component, we would have to store it as a dictionary keyed by the component name.
