If no option is passed, you will get a random string of four characters and corresponding svg.

• size: 4 // size of random string
• ignoreChars: '0o1i' // filter out some characters like 0o1i
• noise: 1 // number of noise lines
• color: true // characters will have distinct colors instead of grey, true if background option is set
