[pstricks] Arrays of stars and other objects

[David Arnold]

All,

In the example below, Herbert has created an array of boxes for me.  
What if I wanted an array of solid five pointed stars instead?

And, are there other "canned" images in pstricks, such as dice, and  
are they listed anywhere?

Thanks

David.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{pstricks-add}

\def\Box{\psframebox{\rule{3mm}{0pt}\rule{0pt}{3mm}}}
\def\putBox(#1,#2){\rput(#1,#2){\rnode{p#1#2}{\Box}}}

\begin{document}

\begin{pspicture}(1,0.5)(4,2.5)
\multido{\iRow=1+1}{2}{%
   \multido{\iCol=1+1}{4}{%
     \ifnum\iRow=1        % for lowest row
       \ifnum\iCol=4      % and last column do nothing
         \else\putBox(\iCol,\iRow)\fi
     \else\putBox(\iCol,\iRow)\fi}}
\ncbox[linearc=0.35,nodesep=0.2,linecolor=blue]{p11}{p31}
\ncbox[linearc=0.35,nodesep=0.2,linecolor=blue]{p12}{p32}
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}
