Plugin for 'click' inserting text in sequence (Post-code/map making)

[ryankiwi]

I have a large image of a map and for every building I need to insert a sequential number to each building/POI on it. I started to manually type these in but it soon got messy, wondering if theres a plugin where you can set font, colour, size and starting number and then click whereever you want and it will insert a number per click?

 

e.g. 100, 101, 102, 103 etc

Hello @ryankiwi and welcome to the forum

 

The only way I can think of is:

 

1.  Have your map on its own layer.

2. Make a new layer, type the text and then merge down to the map.

3.  Repeat #2.

 

Also, If you had the numbers pre-made in a folder, you could use Copy & Paste.

Hello,

A plugin that can handle counting and alphabetical labelling would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Welsh Yellow Cheddar

One plugin that handles counting is designed for spritesheets. it might be of some use to you.

It does the auto generate function of numbering.

Hi all,

 

Thanks for the responses, @AndrewDavid don't think that will work for me as the image im placing these on is a map with building shapes of many colours/sizes etc.

I guess I know what I need now and thats some sort of step counter plugin but lets you set a shape and/or font, colour/type/size etc etc, which also lets you start at 1 or a custom number/letter or similar.
