Today I was in a mood to do something funny...
* A wild variety of central-symmetric curvilinear shapes, including softly rounded stars and polygons, can be created using the new Roundedness control on the options panel for the Star tool.
The value is a ratio of the length of Bezier control handle to the length of the corresponding polygon side. Values of 0.2 to 0.3 give normal smooth rounded corners. Most other values (negatives are permitted too) deliver tons of sheer excitement.
Enjoy!
P.S. Following which I'm going to be absent for a few days, as I have an urgent paid job to do. If you need me for something, please try to not forget what you need me for until I'm back :)
