Shape(ref: str = None, transform: fontTools.misc.transform.Transform = None, nodes: [<class 'babelfont.Node.Node'>] = None, closed: bool = True, direction: int = 1, _formatspecific: dict = <factory>, _: dict = None)
* When writing to Babelfont-JSON, this class must be serialized without newlines
## Shape.ref
* Python type: `str`
*If not provided, defaults to* `None`.
## Shape.transform
* Python type: `Transform`
*If not provided, defaults to* `None`.
## Shape.nodes
* Python type: `[Node]`
*If not provided, defaults to* `None`.
## Shape.closed
* Python type: `bool`
*If not provided, defaults to* `True`.
## Shape.direction
* Python type: `int`
*If not provided, defaults to* `1`.
## Shape._formatspecific
* Python type: `dict`
Each object in Babelfont has an optional attached dictionary to allow the storage
of format-specific information. Font creation software may store any additional
information that they wish to have preserved on import and export under a
namespaced (reverse-domain) key in this dictionary. For example, information
specific to the Glyphs software should be stored under the key `com.glyphsapp`.
The value stored under this key may be any data serializable in JSON; typically
it will be a `dict`.
Note that there is an important distinction between the Python object format
of this field and the Babelfont-JSON representation. When stored to JSON, this key
is exported not as `_formatspecific` but as a simple underscore (`_`).
