Last night I did open links on the details section on Diagram Designer Page, but I still could not quite get my head around what the showpiece.php script was all about. It looked like something a Diagram Designer really ought to be able to generate by putting a piece into the diagram somehow, but I was afraid it's something you have to type in character by character somewhere, and then cut and paste somewhere. Maybe there was technical stuff a user should know about (e.g. HTML knowledge assumed).
Whatever the old way of generating an individual piece was, I could not get my head around that either, and technical stuff is not always easy to explain to someone unfamiliar with modern computers/software, unless a ready example or two is available. I was quite happy when I realized I could put an individual piece on a 1x1 'board' (i.e. single square) using the drawdiagram.php. The method is quick and easy, if not 'brilliant', though it produces an image of the sort you seem to no longer be quite satisfied with, after second thoughts (maybe years later[?]). Too bad drawdiagram.php does not work if a 0x0 board were specified, to leave out the image of a single 'square'.
