Yes, that is the painting upon which I based the pastiche. Very Peri night. Well done. Though the name of the painting has 'Starry' only once, the song has it twice. The Very Peri made me think of Starry, Starry William Ali 1 Quote Until December 2022, using a Lenovo laptop running Windows 10 in England.

As the author of Bézier Circles and other shapes I have to say the only nodes that image needs are at the maxima and the minima of both, the x and the y, axes.

It doesn’t look like something you could easily do in any of the Affinity apps. PagePus X7 has 40 Quickshapes. Affinity Desgner, notwithstanding not usimg the name Quickshapes, seems to have only 21. Does anyone know why please? The set of 21 does not appear to be a subset of the set of 40. William Quote Until December 2022, using a Lenovo laptop running Windows 10 in England.

It doesn’t appear to be, because it isn’t! There’s a larger set of QuickShapes but the Affinity shapes are generally more adjustable, and the latter also allow for symmetry or right angles to be easily achieved.
