Hi. I have task to write program allowing users to draw stars, which can differ in size and amount of arms. When I was dealing with basic stars I was doing it with GeneralPath and tables of points :

     int xPoints[] = { 55, 67, 109, 73, 83, 55, 27, 37, 1, 43 };
     int yPoints[] = { 0, 36, 36, 54, 96, 72, 96, 54, 36, 36 };
     Graphics2D g2d = ( Graphics2D ) g;
     GeneralPath star = new GeneralPath();
     star.moveTo( xPoints[ 0 ], yPoints[ 0 ] );
     for ( int k = 1; k < xPoints.length; k++ )
     star.lineTo( xPoints[ k ], yPoints[ k ] );
     star.closePath();
     g2d.fill( star );

What method should I choose for drawing stars with variable inner and outer radius, as well as different amount of arms ? This is what I should obtain :
