WordBuilder 1.1

[Alfar]

A bit of showing off for the export to svg feature:

I generated a bunch of place names (I didn't bother to check for duplicates, I guess that's an upcoming feature in a later release) and exported to svg.

The export makes each word a text object on a slightly curved path in the svg file.

Using Inkscape, I changed the font size and font (Poor Richard), and used Jitter Nodes on the paths.

Then, I used the align and distribute tools to scatter the names randomly and removed overlaps.

Finally, I hand-drew an island shape around the names and fractalized the path before filling it with a gradient.

I had to adjust the placement of a few names after the fractalize, but other than that, drawing the island path was my only manual task.

Total work: 10 minutes. And I don't know much about Inkscape.

Very nice.

I'm gonna have a tinker of this program when it comes to needing some more names for my map, it looks really cool.

Oh yum yum yum

Going to have to see whether the export works with drawplus. Having the text as a text object on a path will save a lot of time.
