Create a word cloud #31

Closed peterdesmet closed 9 years ago

peterdesmet commented 9 years ago

Create a word cloud below the line charts:

[x] Position: not defined
[x] Word orientation: not defined
[x] Word colour: not defined
[x] Maximum number of words: not defined

The word cloud now appears full width, under the highest ranking article.
The word orientation is defined by an array angles, which now contains [-90, -45, 0]
The word colour is the text colour of the parent div for all words. Colour variation is not used, as is does not add any information and might be confusing.
The maximum number of words will be set in the API call. I currently tested with 40 words.

The text size is scaled over the whole count range. So even if count is 1-4 or 1-4000, the scale will be a linear range between minFontSize (10) and maxFontSize(60). D3 is awesome that way!

Only thing left to do: use the correct API #8 and call on user actions too.

@bartaelterman, please ask feedback regarding the layout of the word cloud to the users on Monday.

bartaelterman commented 9 years ago

Feedback from users needed on layout.

@peterdesmet Comments from the users:

Drop the -45 angle
Use a different font (they liked the one on the d3-cloud page better)
Use some colors.

They did not have immediate pointers (this font or those colors) so I would ask you to create a new suggestion based on this feedback that you think looks really nice.

This issue can be closed after feedback on the second version by @bartaelterman
