Looks pretty cool Rod. When you started this post it piqued my interest in finding a script for creating topography like the ones below but it turned out to be something entirely different. Does anyone know how to do this type of array with say 10 to 20 words? It's the randomness I'm looking for, with both size and positioning options.

What I would love to have it a script to generate that kind of topography AND use that output in Rod's script.

Lot's of ways to do this. Look at this thread (read all the entries; several online sites were mentioned) at RetouchPRO Drac (may not see all the pictures, but the link to the various programs are workable. Also, Rod, I believe, mentioned Textaizer recently; well these guys also create a program called Wordaizer that does these word clouds. :)

There is also a python script by bytes and pixels that does word art in random size and patterns, but you would have to move them to the different degrees you want.
http://registry.gimp.org/node/24974 - looks like their site may be down due to MySQL problems though.

I attached the wordart zip file.
This is python so you need python support to run it.By the way i could never get this to run in Gimp-2.7 versions so if you can PLEASE tell me how! :)
Thanks.

Another small note of advice - DO NOT use all your fonts at once or you will be waiting a very, very long time for your image.Actually you will probably crash Gimp altogether.

Thanks guys, I'll check out the sites and give the python script a try and let you know if It works form my purposes. Even if it doesn't, always nice to have new toys to play with. Manly toys of course.

Yo Rod. I installed the word art plug-in and need to know where it shows up. I looked in the plug-in browser under help and it returned a "no matches" result.
