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. Regards- Doug doug . schepers @ vectoreal.com www.vectoreal.com ...for scalable solutions.
