[Tex/LaTex] circle symbol instead of star symbol in rating

tikz-pgf

I have this macro for showing rating/review. In the macro, it's a star symbol which works great. I tried to change star symbol to circle but it did not work as I expected. I would like to see circle symbol instead of star symbol in rating. Thanks in advance for all the help.

Following is MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes.geometric,calc}

\newcommand\score[2]{

\pgfmathsetmacro\pgfxa{#1+1}

\tikzstyle{scorestars}=[star, star points=5, star point ratio=2.25, draw, inner sep=0.15em,anchor=outer point 3]

\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline]
  \foreach \i in {1,...,#2} {
    \pgfmathparse{(\i<=#1?"blue!70":"lightgray")}
    \edef\starcolor{\pgfmathresult}
    \draw (\i*1em,0) node[name=star\i,scorestars,fill=\starcolor]  {};
   }
  \pgfmathparse{(#1>int(#1)?int(#1+1):0}
  \let\partstar=\pgfmathresult
  \ifnum\partstar>0
    \pgfmathsetmacro\starpart{#1-(int(#1))}
    \path [clip] ($(star\partstar.outer point 3)!(star\partstar.outer  point  2)!(star\partstar.outer point 4)$) rectangle 
    ($(star\partstar.outer point 2 |- star\partstar.outer point   1)!\starpart!(star\partstar.outer point 1 -| star\partstar.outer point 5)$);
    \fill (\partstar*1em,0) node[scorestars,fill=blue!70]  {};
  \fi,

\end{tikzpicture}
}

\begin{document}

 \section*{Languages}
 \textbf{English}\hspace{-1mm}\small{\score{5}{5}}\\
 \textbf{Spanish}\hspace{-1mm}\small{\score{2.4}{5}}\\
 \textbf{French}\hspace{-1mm}\small{\score{1.5}{5}}

\end{document}

Following code uses circle instead of star and adjust clipping corners from star to circle.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes.geometric,calc}

\newcommand\score[2]{

\pgfmathsetmacro\pgfxa{#1+1}

\tikzstyle{scorestars}=[circle, draw, inner sep=0.15em,anchor=west]

\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline]
  \foreach \i in {1,...,#2} {
    \pgfmathparse{(\i<=#1?"blue!70":"lightgray")}
    \edef\starcolor{\pgfmathresult}
    \draw (\i*1em,0) node[name=star\i,scorestars,fill=\starcolor]  {};
   }
  \pgfmathparse{(#1>int(#1)?int(#1+1):0}
  \let\partstar=\pgfmathresult
  \ifnum\partstar>0
    \pgfmathsetmacro\starpart{#1-(int(#1))}
    \path [clip] (star\partstar.north west) rectangle 
    ($(star\partstar.south west)!\starpart!(star\partstar.south east)$);
    \fill (\partstar*1em,0) node[scorestars,fill=blue!70]  {};
  \fi,

\end{tikzpicture}
}

\begin{document}

 \section*{Languages}
 \textbf{English}\hspace{-1mm}\small{\score{5}{5}}\\
 \textbf{Spanish}\hspace{-1mm}\small{\score{2.4}{5}}\\
 \textbf{French}\hspace{-1mm}\small{\score{1.5}{5}}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] How to add the circle, star inside the diamond

You don't have to use the above key, just put all the node at the same point.

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes.geometric}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node[draw, fill, star, star points=6, minimum size=5mm] at (0,0){};
\node[draw, circle, minimum size=8mm] at (0,0){};
\node[draw, diamond, minimum size=1.5cm] at (0,0){};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

result

Edit: To make the picture smaller, you may either change all minimum size keys, or put the whole in a \resizebox like this:

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes.geometric}
\begin{document}
\resizebox{1cm}{!}{%
    \begin{tikzpicture}
    \node[draw, fill, star, star points=6, minimum size=5mm] at (0,0){};
    \node[draw, circle, minimum size=8mm] at (0,0){};
    \node[draw, diamond, minimum size=1.5cm] at (0,0){};
    \end{tikzpicture}
}
\end{document}

To put all above an (aux) node, you may use:

\node[above=of aux,anchor=center] { \resizebox{ ... tikz construction ... } };

where \resizebox{ ... } is the above construction

The solution was to add anchor=center in the /.style.

Thanks Mark!

    \documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning,calc}


\tikzset{add/.style n args={4}{
    draw,
    circle,
    minimum width=6mm,
    path picture={
        \draw

            (path picture bounding box.south west) -- (path picture bounding box.north east);
        \node[anchor=center] at ($(path picture bounding box.center)+(0,0.17)$)     {\tiny #1};
        \node[anchor=center] at ($(path picture bounding box.center)+(0.17,0)$)     {\tiny #2};
        \node[anchor=center] at ($(path picture bounding box.center)+(0,-0.17)$)    {\tiny #3};
        \node[anchor=center] at ($(path picture bounding box.center)+(-0.17,0)$)    {\tiny #4};
        }
    }
}

\begin{tikzpicture}[node distance=1cm]
    \node[add={1}{2}{3}{4}] (add1)  {}; 
    \node[add={1}{2}{3}{4},above=of add1]   (add2)  {};
