Question

Does anyone know how to achieve a 3D sphere tag cloud, like on this site:

Is there a Javascript library that can easily do this, or was it most likely written by hand?

Answer 1

That is done in Flash using the WP-Cumulus plugin. While there are ways to accomplish it in javascript I haven't seen any ready-made products that do just that.

Answer 2

It's a wordpress plugin: 3D tag cloud If you are putting it in a wordpress blog, you could just use that. If you want to put it somewhere else, you could download that plugin and check out the source.

Answer 3

You could write this in javascript using the canvas tag, but it would not work on IE, unless they fixed the problem with excanvas.js where you can now display text.

But, if you wanted it to work on FF3, Opera, Safari and Chrome then you can implement it, but it would have to be done by hand, as I don't know of any javascript library to do something like this.
