Perhaps best we continue this in the following thread in your forum https://punster.me/serif/viewtopic.php?id=968

A possible explanation is that it is a similar situation to the following. I read, sometime, somewhere, that words such as, for example, travelled, end in -led in American English yet in -lled in British English, with the exception in British English that the word paralleled has only a single letter l near the end, not a double letter l, because it already has a double letter l earlier within it.

Oh, I did not know that. I will thank Ali as well.

No need to apologise. If you need to know, it is not a dumb question. I like the Pen Tool. When I use it I tend to guess where to put the points then I use the Node Tool and the Transform Panel to position the points with numerical accuracy. The Pen Tool can be used to produce a connected sequence of lines. After drawing the first line, simply click somewhere else on the canvas. An so on, as many times as one chooes to do that. Indeed, it is necessary to click off the canvas, possibly onto another tool, to ensure that it does not add another straight line if one does not want that to happen. If one wants a closed curve, which one can then fill with colour if one so chooses, there is a button on the Toolbar that allows one to close the curve.

Well, um ... possibly! 😃 I had in my mind the meaning that I wanted to convey and I wondered how to do it in an abstract yet hinting manner.

It is a rhombus, as all four sides are of equal length. I started with a rectangle produced using the rectangle tool. In the original artwork, which is 420 mm by 300 mm and 6 mm wide bleed areas, I made the width of the rectangle 300 pixels and the height of the rectangle 260 pixels (260 being an integer approximation to 300 times (root 3 over 2), then I applied a 30 degree shear. The shear keeps the overall vertical height yet lengthens the vertical lines of the original rectangle while not altering the lengths of the horizontal lines The 420 mm by 300 mm and 6 mm wide bleed areas is so that the artwork could be used at three different print sizes, A3 (420 mm by 297 mm), cloche (400 mm by 300 mm), A5 (210 mm by 148 mm). The 6 mm bleed areas in the artwork are so that upon producing an A5 size version for printing that the A5 version has 3 mm wide bleed areas filled with colour.

Making that shape was interesting. Any idea of how I did it?

He was born within a few days of the Saint Day of the Saint related to the local church and his first name is after the Saint.

Here is a second clue

No No I wondered if the meaning would seem obvious to anyone. Here is a clue, hidden unless requested

Well, it is in the sea, part of the sea.

No it is not! 😄 Indeed!

Here is swatchlegend used as a word without capital letters. https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/199911/how-to-add-swatchlegend-to-a-graph

How about using swatchchart for what is being requested. Later note It appears that SwatchLegend might be the word to use. https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/SwatchLegend.html

Could there be a checkbox on the dialogue panel for this SwatchLegend feature where the checkbox is labelled as follows please. Please generate an additional page and place the SwatchLegend on that new page.

That is correct. Alas. Grumbling away what could be a wonderful opportunity. Creating a controversialized ambience rather than an enthusiastic ambience. Because something like this is not only computer programming. If I, with almost zero knowledge of Indian languages, were trying to implement (some) Indian language support in a software program, I would find progress much easier if some people who do know those languages were to provide some basic examples of what is needed, explaining features that need to be included. Maybe as png files showing examples. Then I would be able to try to use the information available in The Unicode Standard and wherever else I could find guidance to try to produce the result, by proper process, that I knew was what was needed. I had hoped that that is how this thread would develop and eventually lead to support for Indian languages in Affinity products.

As a result of seeing your post I looked up S Club 7 and saw a photograph of them. They look happy. I like people being happy.

Not so much a meeting as such, maybe the topic of chat in their tea break. If some members of the Affinity team show interest, maybe the management will encourage them to have a go on Friday aftenoons. That could be a great opportunity. Opportunities can be seized, or grumbled away ... .... I am trying to provide the opening for someone to say, as they wait for their tea to cool, "Did you see that thread about trying to get Indian languages implemented in Affinity products ... What do you think?" and the discussion might start. Who knows what views might be expressed. I can but try. Reach for the stars.

The tag is not meaningless. The tag is because what I am suggesting would be a great leap forward for Affinity products, but it needs effort and enthusiasm to be achieved. Maybe, just maybe, this thread, these posts will get the possibility discussed rather than being not discussed. Such a discussion within the Affinity team may lead to opportunity for anyone enthusiastic to have a go on Friday afternoons.

No. I am always straight and honest. Some of my ideas make progress, some do not. Telesoftware did. But that was long ago, when I was young.

And sometimes people would like something to progress but do not say so for one or more reasons. The process of getting something implemented is not always a linear process. Sometimes the process can be modelled using a cusp manifold. So I am trying to encourage enthusiasm to get something achieved. Yes, I may get ridiculed. So it looks like going backwards. Yet the stage is being set for progress if the operating point goes over the edge of the manifold as a result of people considering what I write. Yes, some people will push back, even ridicule me, but that falls away because some people may, just may, read what I write and what I write be the catalyst for making progress.
