Now, selecting the other icon will allow you to rotate the star. Now, going to the Node tool, you’ll see a diamond in the middle and one of the edges of the star.Ĭlick the diamond in the middle and that will allow you to expand and contract the star, making it thinner or wider.

Then, you can use the Selection tool to move it into place and to scale it to the size you want. Next, go to the artboard and draw the star by clicking and dragging. Enter the number of corners you want for the star. If you go to the top, you’ll notice the option to draw a polygon or a star. Choose the Polygon and Star icon in the toolbar. Now let’s look at drawing a polygon and a star. Simply click and drag all the way around the circle and Inkscape will fill the circle. More or less, it’s going to build a pie chart. This will let us control how much of the circle is filled. Then, you can go to the Node tool and select the circle icon on the corner. You can hold down the Control or Command key to keep the circle proportional when scaling. You can draw a circle on the artboard and use the Selection tool to modify and transform its proportions. That will then convert the shape into an editable path and you can use the Node tool to adjust each individual curve manually and individually. Then go back to the Selection tool, and go to the Path > Object to Path. Pulling on this corner will allow you to change the rounded corner size on the rectangle. With the Node tool activated, go to the corner with the round icon.
