I have never heard of a "postposited adjective". I think it's that difference in terminology across the Atlantic.
Writing participles and gerunds over bends and steps is so awkward with a keyboard and mouse etc. that I think the effort should be abandoned -- as both you and are are tending to do.
I am gradually figuring out how to diagram with a mouse. I don't yet see how to make dashed lines though.
And I have still not managed to post a diagram on this forum.

dashed line = several short lines

And I have still not managed to post a diagram on this forum.

You will, I trust.

Adjectives are categorized according to their relative position to what they describe:

nice car -- attributive
car is nice -- predicative
God Almighty -- postpositive

Okay, now I understand. Like the Romance languages tend to do with all their descriptive adjectives.
