function trace:: svg -> (point, direction, height)
trace = wander o pointize
pointize :: svg -> [ (point, height) ]
wander :: [ (point, height) ] -> (point, direction, height)
use a js svg render to obtain the basic points + order use heuristics to obtain the directions

register :: (point, direction, height) -> text -> (point, direction, fontsize, text)
pick next point pick next character random size near previous size and height consume all points over it advance random number of points, centered around inter character space
