RE: Request for Future Feature: Star Element

Hi, Mental and Bulia-

To see what your star tool could do, I just downloaded Inkscape for the
first time in years. I was stunned to see that our star parameters were
almost exactly the same! I hadn't implemented the rounding, but had thought
it would be useful (after seeing a such a star on a box of Skip laundry
detergent), and some kind of randomness had struck me as possible, but I
hadn't though about it past that.

I don't recall those features being in there when I looked at it last,
though they probably were. Looking at the screenshots now, I see that those
options are right there on the toolbar (I'd only noticed the canvas before).
I very rarely use drawing tools (I do most of my stuff programmatically, or
by hand), so I hadn't really tried to use Inkscape (since it was very crashy
when I tried it last). 

Since we both arrived at the same set of parameters independently, I think
this is an even more compelling need.

Doug

| Yes, but it's been a long time since I used InkScape (back
