Generate up to 4000 pngs with random names could be a tedious task without a script... But easier with this little piece of code using Node.js, async and Fabric.js:
var fs = require("fs"),
fabric = require("fabric").fabric,
async = require("async");
var names = ["Coleman", "Simon", "..."];
async.eachSeries(
names,
function(name, callback) {
var path = __dirname + "/images/" + name.toLowerCase() + ".png";
var out = fs.createWriteStream(path);
var canvas = fabric.createCanvasForNode(300, 200);
var text = new fabric.Text(name, {
fontFamily: "Christopherhand",
fontSize: 60,
fill: "#FF0000",
left: 0,
top: 0
});
canvas.add(text);
var stream = canvas.createPNGStream();
stream.on("data", function(chunk) {
out.write(chunk);
});
stream.on("end", function() {
callback();
});
},
function(err) {
console.log("done!");
}
);
