Hi, I needed to create arrays of images to show a distribution. Say you wanted to display the amount of male to female workers, or, like in my case the number of nominations in relation to the numbers of wins. So, I wrote a simple python script to do it. It's using graphicsmagick (http://www.graphicsmagick.org/) for the actual image stuff. It works like size: You give it a number of images, and specify how many of these images you want. By default it will arrange those images in a square grid, but you can also specify the number of columns you want to produce different layouts. You can specify the size of a cell and the border around it. It will create a single output file using this data, which you can then use in your Affinity tools. Right now it displays the images in order, but I could change it to display them randomly if needed. #!/usr/local/bin/python3 import math import os # the number per image type counts = [94,199] # the actual filenames to use images = ["A.png", "B.png"] # what should be produced outFilename = "out.png" # size of the cells cellWidth = 100 cellHeight = 100 # number of columns. If set to zero, it will create # a layout with the same number of rows and columns. columns = 0 # ---------------------------------- # Implementation # # Basically, it creates list of files for # graphicsmagick's (http://www.graphicsmagick.org/montage.html) # montage tool. # # On a mac you can use # brew install graphicsmagick # in a terminal to install graphicsmagick if you don't have it already # total = 0 for count in counts: total += count if ( columns == 0 ): columns = math.ceil( math.sqrt( total ) ) rows = math.ceil( total / columns ) totalRemaining = total curType = 0 typeRemaining = counts[curType] params = "" while totalRemaining > 0: params += images[curType] + " " totalRemaining = totalRemaining - 1 typeRemaining = typeRemaining - 1 if typeRemaining == 0: # switch to next image curType = curType + 1 typeRemaining = counts[ min(curType, len(images)-1 )] # call graphicsmagick to do the hard work for us: os.system( f'gm montage -background none -geometry {cellWidth}x{cellHeight}+10+10 -tile {columns}x{rows} {params} {outFilename}') Maybe it's something you can find use for. If you're on a mac, you can use on the command line to install it. I hope this is in the correct forum, tand that somebody might find this useful. Thanks, DasLenny

Hi guys! Here are some sink visualizations I did last year. Postproduction using Affinity Photo. Hope you like it! Be safe!

I am a newbie with Affinity and thought I would ask the group for your thoughts. I've been asked to create a marketing slick that will visualize data in a bubble format. We use Affinity for our marketing materials but I've never really touched it and am completely overwhelmed when I try to do anything in Affinity. I'm not a graphics person. I am pretty sure Word isn't going to cut but I also think Affinity might be overkill. Would you use Affinity for this type of task?

Hello guys, first post here. I want to show you couple of 3d renderings I've done recently. I used Affinity Photo to make postproduction work. In my opinion Photo is pretty neat! There are some small things that will be nice to incorporate in future versions in order to speed the postwork process in 3d, but i think Photo is full equivalent of PS. Here are some images i did: Thanks!
