The angles are the bits where adjacent sides meet, aren’t they?
I suspect you mean ‘I wonder what the values of the angles are.’
An iPad such as the one I’m using now (Retina display 10.2-inch diagonal, pixel resolution 2160 by 1620 at 264 pixels per inch) in landscape mode has a screen height and width each of which is a little more than three times the 709 by 501 dimensions of your rectangle, so your rectangle occupies approximately one tenth of the available display area.
William wrote:On the system that you are using, is the display not so good?
The display is fine on the systems that I’m using. What prompted you to ask about that?
William wrote:The screen displays at maybe 96 dots per inch.
Modern displays generally have a much higher resolution than that. With iPads, for example, the display resolution is typically 264 PPI, but some are over 300 PPI. And for smaller phone or tablet screens with similar pixel dimensions, the resolution is naturally higher.
If you want your PNGs to be 500 pixels high, set the document dimensions accordingly.
Looking for information about Penrith, I found it described as a suburb of Sydney. But I also found it described as a city located west of Sydney. How can it be both a suburb and a city in its own right?

William wrote:Then I hid the original picture and exported at one seventh size. The original is A3.
A3 is 420 mm × 297 mm (16.54 in × 11.69 in) and 420 mm divided by 7 is only 60 mm or 2.3622047 inches. That seems rather small for a picture dimension, but it happens to be very close to 1/ϕ × (1 - 1/ϕ) × 10 inches:
ϕ = 1.6180334
1/ϕ = 0.6180334
1 - 1/ϕ = 0.3819660
0.6180334 × 0.3819660 × 10 = 2.3606775
William wrote:I tend to think it might look better if the interface between sea and sand were lower down with about half as much sand and more sea.
(Break for a while while I try a quick mash up to see what it looks like.)
Yet I am not so sure now.
Don’t forget that the sand is in the foreground, so a fairly narrow strip is going to look wider than a strip of sea whose width is similarly narrow.
William wrote:An article that uses the word quotidian.
Having seen it in context, I think the person who said it was just being pretentious! The word ‘everyday’ would have been better suited to what they were trying to convey.
William wrote:An article that uses the word quotidian.
I do not remember ever seeing that word before. I needed to look up its meaning.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie.
Johnk wrote:You are doing very well William. However it took me a long time and a lot of looking at the work of skilled painters before my work started to show decent composition. Carry on reading about balance and leading the eye, also look at the work of Frank Webb, Toulouse Lautrec, Russell Flint, Degas and the Norwich School and Rowland Hilder. For more recent artists Ian Roberts, Charles Sovek, Mel Syabin, Gordon McKenzie.
Thet are all brilliant at composition, not forgetting Turner of course.
John
I know and love the work of Degas and Turner, but Toulouse Lautrec is the only other name on your list that means anything to me. I shall need to find examples of the work of the many other artists listed.
William wrote:I had heard of the rule of thirds, as in 0.333 and 0.667, but it is really golden ratio at 0.382 and 0.618.
…
So the gap in the middle is not 0.333 it is 0.236 so much smaller.
The 0.236 gap in the middle splits the 0.618, perhaps not surprisingly, according to the golden ratio: 0.236/0.382 is 0.618.

The linked page describes the use of the Windows key together with the Print Screen key to save your screenshot as an image file. Wouldn’t that be simpler than involving Microsoft Paint in the procedure?

There’s no need to be quick and there’s no need to pause anything! Simply visit the following URL:

In the absence of a link to the relevant iPlayer page, it’s hard to determine the answer to that!
Robert The Texan wrote:I suggest readings from the work of his niece Mary Trump, who is a psychologist and witness to the dynamics of the Trump household under Fred Trump. Suffice it to say that she is NOT a fan of her uncle, and has much to say about the environment that shaped him into the creature that he is... and a reflection of his father.
Given how he treated her late father and how he continues to treat her, it’s hardly surprising that Mary L. Trump is no fan of Donald.
You’re very fond of including the word ‘interesting’ in your posts and topic titles, aren’t you, William! Quite apart from its being a given that we find our own topics interesting, it would help to provide context to the thread if you were to say why a particular topic piqued your interest.
What two things surprised you in the linked clip, and what did you find nice about them?
Your link works for me, John. Thanks for sharing!
William wrote:At just after 5 minutes 10 seconds in, is the lady who is singing a well-known singer from the 1960s, perhaps before she was a star?
Well, she looks like Dusty Springfield to me, and one of the people writing in the comments section clearly thinks so, too.
Someone forgot to check how to spell Tessie O’Shea (“Tessie O’Shey”) and Gracie Fields (“Gracie Feild”). And the captions are full of backticks (`) instead of apostrophes (' or ’).
If it were only on your local hard drive then you wouldn’t be able to share it from Google Drive, so it must also be available via a link to your cloud storage.
