Is there a public, free web service that generates tag clouds? I'm looking for something like Google Chart--URL in, image out.

I highly doubt it. A web service for this wouldn't make any sense.
There are tons of libraries though:

It still makes sense to me, but I haven't been able to find any such service. Actually, the API could be words in, styled text out or words in, image out. I'll just implement what I need in SWT and go from there.
You can see an example of the kind of thing I'd like to generate at http://www.wordle.net/gallery/wrdl/359579/JUnit_Tests. These are the words in the names of JUnit's self-tests.

The Wordle license forbids embedding and derivative works. Otherwise I'd love to use it. It's such a beautiful presentation of the information.

Thanks for suggesting Wordle, but its license is too restrictive for what I want to do. I want to embed the cloud in the IDE.

Realize that this is an old post, but I think tagcrowd.com might work here despite no API access. Commercial license is cheap $19.95.
