Text Formatting ⇒ Koch Snowflake with Words as Sides

[Concrete Poet]

I would like to produce a Koch snowflake with words (not lines) for sides.

Can this be done in LaTeX? Is code available?

Ideally I would like to supply a string of words (poem) e.g. in a text file and have LaTeX arrange them as the sides of a snowflake, say 48 words for a second iteration snowflake, 192 for third iteration etc.

I am new to LaTeX and the Community - apologies if I post in the wrong place or ask a daft question.

Any advice appreciated.

Hi,

welcome to the board!

Drawing Koch snowflakes can be done with very few lines in LaTeX. Have a look: tikZ | Koch Snowflake.

Using words instead of lines would require some more work, but it's possible. Also in TikZ, words can be written on paths.
