Staff Ben Posted December 15, 2014 Staff Share Posted December 15, 2014 I'll add it when I get chance. I'll probably add a few of them when I do.

Staff Ben Posted December 16, 2014 Staff Share Posted December 16, 2014 Ok - easy done. This will be in the next Beta. I've added pi, phi (or gr, the golden ratio), root2 (square root of 2) and e (Eulers constant). So, in the transform tab, you should be able to use something like "h * phi" (or "h * gr") in the width box to create a box with golden ratio.

Andreas Larsen Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 why not sqr as abbreviation for square root to enable it for all numbers and not just 2? *=sqr2 *=sqr3 *=sqr5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Ben Posted December 16, 2014 Staff Share Posted December 16, 2014 You can also use functions like Sqrt(n). Currently we have: Abs(n) - absolute value IDiv(num,denom) - Whole division (integer result) IRem(num,denom) - Remainder of whole division Sq(n) - Square Sqrt(n) - Square root Sin(angle) Cos(angle) Tan(angle) Min(n1,n2) - Min of two numbers Max(n1,n2) - Max of two numbers Mid(n1,n2) - Mid point between two numbers Lerp(a,b,t) - Linear interpolation between two numbers Clamp(n,min,max) - Clamp a number between two bounds Dale and matisso 2 Quote SerifLabs team - Affinity Developer Software engineer - Photographer - Guitarist - Philosopher iMac 27" Retina 5K (Late 2015), 4.0GHz i7, AMD Radeon R9 M395 MacBook (Early 2015), 1.3GHz Core M, Intel HD 5300 iPad Pro 10.5", 256GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 ?? Was there a question in there? Yes, two actually. What is this algebra and do we mere mortals need it? I was actually looking for the golden ratio path, as seen in DrawPlus: will this be included one day?

Staff Ben Posted December 18, 2014 Staff Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yes - mere mortals could very well need it. Certainly handy in the transform tab. You can quickly create a shape with a fixed ratio size. You can position using multiples of a given number without having to work it out yourself. There are lots of possibilities. Crucially, using formula will also be much more accurate in some situations. peter and matisso 2 Quote SerifLabs team - Affinity Developer Software engineer - Photographer - Guitarist - Philosopher iMac 27" Retina 5K (Late 2015), 4.0GHz i7, AMD Radeon R9 M395 MacBook (Early 2015), 1.3GHz Core M, Intel HD 5300 iPad Pro 10.5", 256GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briandesmond Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'd like to just be able to overlay a golden ratio grid, or a rule of thirds grid when working in Affinity Designer. More interestingly the golden ratio, but the rule of thirds (and multiples of it) could be great for Affinity Photo too. I want to be able to snap to those grid lines in the app. Paekke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found this function and I am thrilled I can calculate with „h“ – but I am doing something wrong, calculating with „b“ does not seem to work here, does it? Would make just as much sense, wouldn’t it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it should be considered to adopt these to the programme’s interface language, as width in the German version is indicate “B“ as „Breite“.

But probably the abbreviations to name the two fields in transformation panel are different in Spanish, too, aren’t they? Though I admit, there may be a language where (one of) the abbreviated field names is the same as one of the units or calculation formulas mentioned above. Sigh, I dismiss. 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
