Letters and Colors Markers? #1

Open Concept211 opened 11 years ago

Any chance of generating new style markers with letters and different colors like the old ones below? I can create and send you the colored base markers if you could generate the letters.

Hi Concept211. Thanks for starring the repo.

I can easily make markers with letters using the exact same colour scheme. It's just a matter of adapting the script to use letters instead of numbers. Using different colors will be the tricky part I think, especially making them look like they belong in the new look. I'll have a stab at it. For now, the priority is A to Z.

Hey Steve,

Thanks for the quick reply. Actually, I'm generating them now via ImageMagick and using the same font that Google/Android uses to keep things consistent. Thanks so much for your help and idea for this. If you'd like I'll post the new images when I have them ready.

You could always do a pull request. It would be my first. :)
