Unfortunately, I am at a loss on this as a procedural texture function.  As @v_kyr said, there are many things lurking behind the face of the app that we are just scratching the surface of.  Macros most likely would have to be incorporated.   

You can get the individual components of a vector by using its x, y, z properties.
For example, we can get `0.5` from a `vec3(0.5, 0, 0)` by accessing its `x` property:
var color = vec3(0.5, 0, 0); color.x This code will output 50% gray color
 
Yup. I couldn't find anything related to color sampling too. That's why I decided to ask here. Documentation has some missing bits, and I thought maybe color sampling is one of them.

I'm using AD for a while now and one of the major things I still struggle with is a Colour Chooser (both in a popup and Studio panel). It only supports HSL Color Box model (it is called “Hue” in AD).
Most major apps right are using HSB Color box. It is more familiar and easier to use: if I need a pure bright color, I'd just move the dot to the top right corner and that's it. In HSL Box though, I'd have to try to aim the center of color box. It is frustrating. 
 
Please, add HSB Color Box to Affinity Designer.
 
I understand, that this might be not the most important feature in your road map, but it will definitely make life easier for those who come to AD from Photoshop, Illustrator or Sketch
(and especially for those who are constantly switching between these apps in the process)
 
Thanks.

When I duplicate layer using Alt+drag in Affinity Designer “Force Pixel Alignment” and “Move by Whole Pixel” buttons doesn't work, as the result each new shape is placed off the pixel grid:
 

Here's an example:

Sadly, we can't transform vector points using this technique (e.g. select few points of the rectangle and stretch them out). It is possible to do using Transform Panel by changing W/H properties, but it is kind of complicated.
