Skillfully using WPS to draw the pentagram

One, hands-on teaching you to draw a pentagram

The 1th step: Run "wps text", draw three vertical lines, one of which rotates 36 degrees, the other one rotates negative 18 degrees, and then adjusts their position. The result is shown in Figure 1.

2nd step: Click autoshapes → lines in the Drawing toolbar, select the Freeform tool under it, and draw a closed triangle along the lines just drawn. The result is shown in Figure 2.

Step 3rd: Set the triangle's edge and fill color to red. As shown in Figure 3.

Step 4th: Copy the Red Triangle 4 copies out. As shown in Figure 4.

5th: Rotate the 4 red triangles 72 degrees, 144 degrees, 216 degrees, 288 degrees respectively. Next, combine the 5 triangles, and the results are shown in Figure 6.

Step 6th: Copy the 5 triangles after the combination, set their edges and fill color to yellow, and then flip horizontally. The result is shown in Figure 7.

The 7th step: Combine the red and yellow graphics to get a standard pentagram. As shown in Figure 8. For better looking, you can also draw a rectangle filled with Army green and set the stacking level of the rectangle to the bottom.

Second, tips

The calculation of the rotation angle is not difficult, a little understanding of plane geometry knowledge. But to align the endpoints of the two graphs, it's a bit tricky.

Tip 1: Set up the drawing grid. In the Drawing toolbar, click drawing → drawing grid, and then from the dialog box that pops up, select Align objects with other objects. This way, when you move the endpoints of one graphic to the end of another, they are automatically put together.

Tip 2: Use the micro-shift method. When you select a graphic, click draw → nudge on the Drawing toolbar and then select the direction you want to move to move up, down, left, and right to a very small extent.
