Inkscape has a star/polygon tool that stores parameters in the Inkscape name space. The star/polygon get's exposed as a path. The parameters are: * number of sides * center x * center y * r1 * r2 * arg1 * arg2 * flat sided (polygon) or star shaped * roundedness * randomness You can see the effect of some of these parameters at: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Shapes-Stars.html The SVG WG has talked about a star/polygon element many times, but no one got around to spec-ing it out. Maybe this will get it done. Tav
