Description

I have some images that have quite a bit of space open for text to be drawn but only a single 2-3 character word will be drawn on the entire image. It would be nice to specify if the minimum amount of words that I'd like drawn on an image so that it can continue looking for words to draw.

Research direction
Examine the main generation script (likely gen.py) to understand how words are placed on images. Look for a function that selects words from a corpus or dictionary. Add a new parameter 'min words' that ensures at least that many words are drawn per image. Modify the loop to continue adding words until the minimum is reached, respecting layout constraints. Test with different image sizes and word counts.
