Corel DESIGNER lets you draw polygons and two types of stars: perfect and complex. You can draw polygons and stars and then reshape them. For example, you can convert a polygon to a star by dragging its nodes, and you can change the number of sides on a polygon.
You can also draw a predefined star shape. For more information, see To draw a predefined shape.
