# Report - Star Shape

> The Star shape component creates a star and can be used anywhere on a report.

The Star shape component creates a star and can be used anywhere on a report.  Select the Star shape on the Report Component Palette to make it active, and draw a star anywhere in your Report Designer. Once the star is created you can use the handles to resize it. You can change the number of star points, bloat, color, and stroke using its properties.
