Geometric shapes or diargrams

AI Thread Summary
Displaying simple geometric shapes or diagrams in PF can be challenging, as code tags only allow for basic representations. Scanning and uploading diagrams directly into posts is suggested as the most effective method. However, image tags are currently disabled, limiting the ability to embed images directly. Linking to external sources for diagrams remains a viable alternative. Overall, users should consider these limitations when sharing geometric content.

Is there a good way to show some very simple geometric shapes or diargrams
in PF or is it best to put them somewhere else and provid a link.

You can try using the code tags, but it isn't easy to make anything more than a very basic diagram using disjunct pieces. The best technique I've seen is simply to scan the diagram that you have and upload it into your post. Linking from somewhere else would be another viable option. I think the image tags have been turned off, however, so you won't be able to load an image into your post. All you can is link to it.
 
Thanks for the help
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
