PepGold Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I seem to have trouble with Euler's constant. I am certain that I'm just have brain fart. But in my mind I should be able to access that value as constant equal to 2.71828182845904. I can use the other constants like, pi, phi and root2 directly in the Transform panel by setting the W as pi, phi or root2. But not e. It is bold and red as if it is unknown or invalid. Is this expected, or I am confusing Euler's constant with something else? 😂 I would it the following. pi = 3.141592653589793 phi = 1.618033988749894 root2 = 1.41421 e = 2.71828182845904 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David in Яuislip Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 From V1 Help Mathematical constants For general use throughout the user interface. Input Constant pi, π For Pi phi, gr, φ For golden ratio root2, rad, rt For Pythagoras’s constant e Euler’s constant e to me is Euler's number ie 2.7 and a bit, base of natural logs Euler's constant is 0.57721 and a bit so I'm not sure what the help means Whatever, e doesn't work whereas pi, phi and root2 do so I suspect it's a Serif fart Alfred, v_kyr and PepGold 2 1 Quote Microsoft Windows 10 Home, Intel i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz, 16 GB RAM, 500GB SSD, 1TB Whirlygig, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Affinity Photo - 24/05/20, Affinity Publisher - 06/12/20, KTM Superduke - 27/09/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The help probably means the Napier's constant (Euler number), e = epsilon, since the Euler-Mascheroni constant = = gamma. - In Affinity e 's usage is probably more meant for APh equation filters, or they have forgotten to set it up globally for input fields.

PepGold Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 Also weird that w=width and h=height aren't available when creating a grid in the Grid and Snapping Axis window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure I understand what you mean. That spacing would "w" represent the width of, the entire document or something else?

NotMyFault Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Yes, would be nice as formula, e.g. w/8 in some instances, you may need to use sw (spread width) instead of w, but for grid no constants/ variables are allowed Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.
