ILanguageCloud

Generate interactive wordclouds for any language, with automatic stop word detection and ability to export as svg or png.

Getting Started

On the server

Install the module with: npm install ilanguage-cloud

var ILanguageCloud = require('ilanguage-cloud').ILanguageCloud;
var myCloud = new ILanguageCloud({text: 'A cloud is a visible mass ...'});
myCloud.render();

In the browser

Install the module with: bower install ilanguage-cloud --save

Or, download the production version or the development version.

In your web page:

<script src="ilanguage-cloud.min.js"></script>
<script>
  var myCloud = new ILanguageCloud({text: 'A cloud is a visible mass ...'});
  myCloud.render(); // renders the text as a cloud to a div id="cloud" if exists
</script>

In your code, you can attach ILanguageCloud's methods to any object.

<script>
var exports = WordCloud;
</script>
<script src="ilanguage-cloud.min.js"></script>
<script>
  new WordCloud({text: 'A cloud is a visible mass ...'}).render();
</script>

Documentation

You can also specify many options on the cloud, for example how the cloud should be analyzed, and in which element it should render.

var myOptions = {
  element: document.getElementById('anyElementCanBePassedIn'),
  orthography: 'A cloud is a visible mass of condensed droplets or frozen crystals suspended in the atmosphere.',
  morphemes: 'A cloud is a visible mass of condense-ed drop-let-s or frozen crystal-s suspend-ed in the atmosphere.',
  font: 'FreeSans',
  nonContentWords: 'a is by in of the or'
};
var cloud = new ILanguageCloud(myOptions);
cloud.render();
