About the algorithm:
The alphebet consists of lines of all angles greater than 5 degrees. In each position on a dense grid, an element is randomly chosen consisting of 0 to 7 lines and can be repeated up to 3 times. If zero lines are chosen, a horizontal line is drawn (solid or dotted). Thus an abstract text is created.
