Draw a star

  1. In the Vector section of the Tools panel, select the Polygon tool.

  2. In the Property inspector, select Star from the Shape pop-up menu.

  3. In the Sides box, enter the number of points for the star.

  4. In the Angle box, select Automatic or enter a value. Values closer to 0 result in long, thin points; values closer to 100 result in short, stubby points.

  5. Drag the canvas to draw the star.

    To constrain a star's orientation to increments of 45°, hold down Shift as you drag.
