Hi pbnjay!

Thanks so much for this awesome tool. I really like how you've formatted everything. I am attempting to create a variant map for an upcoming publication with a number of mutations (~35) and have run into an issue that a number of their labels are overlapping and becoming illegible. Is there a way to change the settings to avoid this? I have attempted to use the TextPadding modifier in your draw settings, but haven't had much success. Thanks for any help you can give!

I was never able to have much luck on a general solution, my best approach was to save as PDF and then edit the text positions manually in Inkscape / Illustrator
