Star score graphic generator achievable with inks... or...?

[David V Glasgow]

Thanks, but Bob Sneidar was exactly right in his original post.  His solution works beautifully with real numbers represented as part stars.  I did look at the segmented widget, but I wanted to represent real numbers from averaging customer ratings.

The only teeny  limitation is that between each star there is a small gap in which ‘between stars’ scores are not displayed until the threshold of the next stars leftmost point is reached.

In terms of the typical web display of customer feedback, it isn’t significant.

Cheers

The easiest way to do that would be with icon switching - I want to have the last star part gold and part grey, (with a  vertical boundary through the star) if that is what is demand by the mean feedback score being represented.
