Hi, thank you for adding this plugin. I cannot get the gradient to work, all lines have the same distance:

Am I doing something wrong?

[tcarisland]

This seems correct, which version of Glyphs are you using?

[tcarisland]

Can you see any error messages in the Macro Panel?

This is the output I get when I try the same values.

I will move this discussion to the issues on your repo:

tcarisland/GradientHatch#39

[tcarisland]

1. Initial bug was caused by locale-specific code, fixed by using layer.ascender and layer.descender in Lines have the same distance tcarisland/GradientHatch#39
2. The locale issues were fixed by removing automatically translated locale strings, might ask around in the forum for better translations. Created separate issue for layout challenges. Localization tcarisland/GradientHatch#41
3. A bug was discovered that allowed for negative numbers in the stepWidth. Failsafes and constraints added in Ensure that the step width must be positive tcarisland/GradientHatch#40

Ready for merge unless something else blocks

Works well, thank you!
