You can create a custom string by combining any of these options:

- plain text (example: banana)

- random number from range (example: [0-20] )

- random item from an array (example: [banana\~apple\~grapes] )



An example of a combined string: $[0-999],[10-99] [new\~used\~old]



Which would result in "$321,34 old" or "$12,75 new"



## Generating custom images
