Tag Cloud Demo
This demo shows how to create a Tag Cloud visualization.
Tag clouds are a standard tool for visualizing text documents. The number of occurrences
of a word in the text document is the word's frequency. The higher the frequency
of a word, the more significant the word is. To convey a word's significance, its
frequency determines the font size and text color of the word in the tag cloud. More
frequent words are shown with increasingly larger font sizes.
For brevity's sake, the demo does not actually process word documents to calculate word
frequencies, but uses prepared frequencies of a fictional document as its input.
Things to Try
-
Switch between two arrangement styles for the tag cloud, Circle and
Rectangle.
-
Use the Word Frequency slider to determine the minimum frequency for word to be
included in the tag cloud.
