NAME - App::WIoZ
App::WIoZ - a perl word cloud generator
VERSION
version 0.002
DESCRIPTION
App::WIoZ can create a SVG or PNG image of a word cloud from a simple text file with word;weight.
App::WIoZ is an acronym for "Words for Io by Zeus", look for the Corregio painting to watch the cloud.
App::WIoZ is based on Wordle strategy and yawc perl clone.
Usage:
my $File = 'words.txt';
my $wioz = App::WIoZ->new(
font_min => 18, font_max => 64,
filename => "testoutput",
basecolor => '226666'); # violet
if (-f $File) {
my @words = $wioz->read_words($File);
$wioz->do_layout(@words);
}
else {
$wioz->update_colors('testoutput.sl.txt');
}watch doc/freq.pl to create a words.txt file.
STATUS
App::WIoZ is actually a POC to play with Moose, Cairo or Math::PlanePath.
The use of an Hilbert curve to manage free space is for playing with Math::PlanePath modules.
Performance can be improved in free space matching, or in spiral strategy to find free space.
Font choice is still missing. Max and min font sizes can certainly be computed.
Feel free to clone this project on GitHub.
SETTINGS
height
image height, default to 600
width
image width, default to 800
font_min, font_max
required min and max font size
filename
file name output, extension .png or .svg will be added
svg
produce a svg output, default value
set to 0 to write a png
scale
Scale for the Hilbert Curve granularity default to 10
Higer value produces better speed but more words recovery.
basecolor
Base color for color theme, default to 882222
METHODS
read_words
read words form file : word;weight
Usage: my @words = $wioz->read_words($File);
update_colors
Read words position from file and update colors.
Usage:
$wioz->update_colors("file.sl.txt");do_layout
Compute words position, save result to svg or png image, save in filename.sl.txt words positions to update colors.
Usage : $wioz->do_layout(@words);
