Lets say i have an array like such $artist = array("the roots","michael jackson","billy idol","more","and more","and_YET_MORE"); $count = array(5,3,9,1,1,3); and i want to generate a tag clound that will have artist with a higher number in count be a H6 tag and the lowest being H1? any ideas? ...
I'm currently reading some academic papers on Google Scholar, but I'm interested in the personal experiences of developers and web designers - when do you and don't you use tag clouds instead of another visualization method? ...
I got the acts_as_taggable_on_steroids plugin to work fine. The tag_cloud method in my view create and formats the cloud properly however the tags are listed in order of 'count desc'. How to I present my tags in the cloud in alphabetical order? ...
I'd love to know how Stack Overflow's tagging and search is architected, because it seems to work pretty well. What is a good database/search model if I want to do all of the following: Storing Tags on various entities, (how normalized? i.e. Entity, Tag, and Entity_Tag tables?) Searching for items with particular tags Building a ta...
How would you render a tag cloud within a .NET 2.0+ WinForm application? One solution that I am thinking of would be using the WebBrowser control and generating to some ad-hoc HTML, but that seems to be a pretty heavy solution. Am I missing something more simple? ...
Is there a public, free web service that generates tag clouds? I'm looking for something like Google Chart--URL in, image out. ...
Context Take a look at what wordle does : http://www.wordle.net/ it's much better looking than any other word cloud generators I've seen note: the source is not avaialable - read the FAQ http://www.wordle.net/faq#code My Questions Is there an algorithm available that does what Worlde does? If no, what are some alternatives that pro...
Hi! Am making a small C# application and would like to extract a tag cloud from a simple plain text. I'm not sure about if there is a function that could do that for me... Any tips? (Or any other suggestion?) Thank you! ...

Hi, I wondered if someone could help. I need to build a system that pulls numbers out of an array and displays them in a cloud like pattern (a range of different sizes and colours). I'm stumped on how to build a system to create the divs so they don't overlap and make a nice tight structure. Any pointers would be great. Mock Up: http:/...
I would like to add a "tag cloud" to a project I'm working on. I see tons of them via google, but they seem to mostly be "enter an url" type. I'm looking for one which either has either a nice web-accessible api a standalone local executable (linux preferred) a linkable library (c,python preferred) of course, other options and sugg...
I've read a bunch of tutorials about the proper way to generate a logarithmic distribution of tagcloud weights. Most of them group the tags into steps. This seems somewhat silly to me, so I developed my own algorithm based on what I've read so that it dynamically distributes the tag's count along the logarthmic curve between the thresh...
Given words and their frequencies and an area of screen real estate, what are good approaches to fitting a tag cloud to the space? The two variables I can think of to manipulate are: Font sizes (both absolute and the gradient) Number of words Everything approach I can think of requires iteration, like setting an upper bound on the nu...
What is the actual procedure for attaching multiple tags to a particular content in a project development. What is this tagging all about??? I need to create a tag cloud for my project in .NET using c#. Help me out as a beginner for basic tagging concept. ...
I am implementing a tag cloud on a mobile device. The details of data-model etc, are not particularly important here. My question is about the scaling of tags: What is the 'best' expression to map tag frequency to font size? I have looked at this post discussing linear and logarithmic scaling and this answer from Adrian Kuhn sketch of ...
I have an existing webapp and want to add a tag feature so that users can tag existing objects. The question is should I add a tag column to each object? or should I normalize it and use a tag table where each object will have a collection of tags? I am leaning towards the latter because it feels cleaner, easier to report on and easier t...

Hi all, I'm trying to create a dynamic tag cloud using jquery, I want it to pull the keywords from the page and then spit them out in a div, but am not sure how to go about it - I know how I could do it if it were php, but just not so good at jquery. I've created my variable "keywords" var keywords = jQuery("meta[name=keywords]").attr...
I'm trying to do a simple word cloud exercise in PHP but with little twist. I have everything else done but I can't figure out how to do a loop that combines the words. Here's example that will make it little bit easier to understand what I'm trying to do: I have array like this: $arr = array('linebreak','indent','code','question',...
