Word cloud #1

Open bclindner opened 5 years ago

Visualization for the most tooted words was the original intent of this repository.

I'll probably be running the image and truetype packages as I did with iasipgenerator to accomplish this. Not sure how word clouds are actually drawn (i.e. how a word cloud algorithm actually decides how to place its text), so I'll have to look into other implementations probably?

Another Mastodon user made a word cloud implementation in Go that I have been given full permission to implement or base work off of. It's very resource-intensive, but his general method (using an Archimedian spiral, which I hadn't realized was a common way of generating this kind of stuff) will likely come in handy. I'll probably have to look into methods of improving its performance.
