Does such a ballpark graphic program exist?

I'm double posting this in the OOTP Mods forum

Perhaps I'm having a false memory, but I seem to remember seeing a website a while back that showed simple renderings of the dimensions of ballparks from a top view....and I thought you could plug in dimensions to see what your virtual ballpark looked like. Maybe it was in a game?

Nothing fancy, but they were scaled exactly, and you could see the quirks in the various old parks.

I thought this would be a nice addition to league websites, especially when creating fictional parks.

Has anyone else seen anything like this? We have some pretty unique parks in Mirror Image Baseball and it would be very cool to look at them from "above".

Not being a programmer, I'm not sure how simple this could be with a paint program, but it certainly would be a nice addition.

Well, if you download Earl Weaver Baseball, which is available out there on the Web, it has a ballpark screen that allows you to enter values and it will make an image based on them. It's not purely from above, more like the typical "press box behind home plate" kind of view.

The only thing is that EWB is from 1987 and the controls are nothing like modern ones.

Still, I used it to make the basic versions of stadiums that I sort of traced over with better graphics.
