A public programme (IAC-STAR) has been developed for generating of HR and C-M synthetic diagrams to investigate problems of star formation and population synthesis. The programme's outputs have multiple applications: from use as tools for studying the History of Star Formation in the galaxies, to applications in the field of Surface Brightness Fluctuation. IAC-STAR is a free access project via the World Wide Web from the url http://iac-star.iac.es/iac-star and is proving to be very successful.
