Sounds great, thank you for ever improving. It's a great tool and a fun way to waste some time :)

About SVG I just wanted to ask: Why not go all SVG and display it directly as is in the Browser? You could focus on one drawing routine and utilize everything SVG has to offer, no?

That was my thinking as well, when it comes to using SVG.

It's complicated. This generator is written in Haxe using OpenFL framework. I don't have direct access to containing HTML, I can't just add SVG to a page to display it. It's doable of course, but it's not as easy as it would be with plain JS. I'm not sure it is possible to combine OpenFL and this "pure SVG" approach, so I'll have to rewrite a lot of stuff not related directly to mapping e.g. UI. 

But it's not the main problem though. The main problem is that with the browser as a visualizer I won't be able to reuse the code for the desktop version of the generator. The native desktop application won't have a browser inside of it, won't have a reliable way to display SVG. OK, this is doable too, but I don't want to delve this deep - district names generation is more fun :)
