DwC JQuery Client - Field View - Word Cloud Implementation #54

Closed coreyo closed 13 years ago

coreyo commented 13 years ago

As part of the The DwCFieldView plugin requirements, we want to display a listing of values for a given field that are shown within the Darwin Core database. For text and other non-numeric fields, we will use the wordcloud approach. For the initial wordcloud, we will list all values (or the top XXXX most frequently occuring values) in order from most frequent to least frequent. The (font) size of each word will be bigger for more frequently occurring values, and smaller for less frequently occurring values. The wordcloud should be configurable in terms of max font size, minimum font size, and number of values to display.
