Near 0.0, the randomness of the displacement ratio low, and it increases as the parameter approaches -10.0 or 10.0. The Randomised option of Star Tool displaces the inner and outer points of the spokes to random coordinates around the center of the star. There is a Spirograph Tool ( Effects > Render > Spirograph ) which can produce similar effects and much more. Press Shift and drag either handle to modify the rounding of the shape on-canvas. This setting allows you to round the corners of the shape in both Polygon Mode and Star Modes of this tool. Only accessible in Star Mode, it allows you to define the ratio of spoke length between the star core and its spoke tips. Corner counts are limited from 3 to 1024. You can define the number of corners and spokes of the shape by adjusting the corners parameter - it can either be specified before drawing a polygon or dynamically modified after selecting an existing polygon. There are two handles - the red handle is the same as for polygons, allowing modification of size and orientation of the object the white handle at an interior spoke angle allows simultaneous modification of all the spokes' shapes and sizes. In Star Mode, spokes start from regular polygon corners. Only one handle is available, allowing modification of the size and orientation of the polygon. In Regular Polygon Mode, the shape has no spokes. An object's mode and shape will be changed if it is selected while one of these icon is clicked. The next polygon/star will be created in the Selected Mode.

The left icons allow respectively to use the Regular Polygon Mode or the Star Mode. The tool options can be accessed in the Tool Controls bar To switch to the Star Tool, you can either The included deformation methods allow for some amazing shapes, all while keeping the powerful aspects of easy editability of an SVG Primitive. By modifying some of the following parameters, this tool can be used to draw triangles and other regular polygons with any number of sides. Inkscape stars are Live Shapes, and can thus be infinitely modified after creation, with handles or tool control parameters. This tool is very convenient even though it may be less often used than the Rectangle Tool and Ellipse Tool. The Star Tool enables stars and regular polygons to be drawn easily in the document.

Stars and polygons are special shapes, difficult to draw by hand while maintaining a regular shape.
