RE: # actually the short way returns an error / PARENTHESES
Tom,
According to Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracket_(punctuation), the () [], {} and <>
are all considered to be "brackets", but the common names are:
() Parentheses
[] Square Brackets
{} Braces
<> Angle Brackets
with alternate names as follows:
() Round Brackets, Curved Brackets, Parens, Fingernails
[] Crochets (in Great Britain, apparently)
{} Curly Brackets
Just FYI...

Good overview, Ken. Just one addition for alternatives:
<> Sharp Brackets

Re: # actually the short way returns an error / PARENTHESES (OT)
But not all circumflexes should be pointy, and since standard ascii doesn't allow for combining characters how was this intended to be useful as a character on a computer keyboard? (just thinking outloud, as someone very familiar with using alt-key combinations and accents, including circumflex, this has always seemed like a second-best choice for what would be on the 6 key - and just following as a vestige of typewriters that actually allowed a back-up & overstrike) Yours, Chris On Feb 22, 2004, at 10:12 AM, Thomas McGrath III wrote: circumflex is the language reference for ^ (shift 6) but is also referred to as the caret key.

Re: # actually the short way returns an error / PARENTHESES
It is true that the polygon needs to be regular, which really leaves a lot to be desired... you can't rotate non-regular vector art, and you can't rotate groups of art regular or not. so the things you're rotating are pretty limited. and my results from rotating things I created with the weird paint tool experience shall not even be discussed. btw I don't know that we call these <> delimiters anything in English. They are simply less-than/greater-than signs. I know, however, they they are typographer's quotation marks as << >> around the world.
