Customizing star shape #14

Open nerdymax opened 8 years ago

Is it possible?

FlyingPumba commented 8 years ago

Hi, what kind of customization would you want ?

nerdymax commented 8 years ago

For example a star that has different angles between edges. There are many different types of five-pointed stars, as you know.

FlyingPumba commented 8 years ago

Ok, but do you need anything in particular ? Or just think this would be a good feature ? Shape customization is a bit tricky:

On one hand, the extreme customization would be being able to use any particular shape, but configuring it would be tedious.
On the other hand, if I start adding configuration methods like "angle between edges", "distance from star corner to center", etc. the API and implementation will become a horror.

Well, it would be great if I can at least customize distance from the star center to the nearest five points, so that we can implement "fat" and "slim" stars.
