5 star chart

I have a review rating that i want to display in a 5 star chart (vertical displayed, not horizontal) 

E.g. when the rating is 4.5, 4,5 stars should be displayed as yellow.

I was wondering if this is possible by creating a 5 star bar chart in Photoshop and then implement it in Qlikview. But i think this is not possible

Any tips?

Create an image in photoshop and cut out the stars so you get an image with transparent star shapes holes. In Qlikview create a bar chart. Next create a text box object and use the image you created as background for the text box object. Then put the text box object on top of the bar chart.

You can make a picture with star cutouts that are transparent. That way you can place it on top of a bar chart. You'll get stars for as far as the bar 'fills' the cutouts. You can find an example of the technique here: Re: Customization of bar chart

I've read the topic and checked the example, but i'm not sure yet how to do this.
