SOMETHINGS CHANGED

9 years ago

Something has changed in the word clouds, when I go into any of my saved clouds now the original is still the same as before but when I put in new words and visualiz, the clouds come out a lot different with loads more words duplicated than before and not as bold and when I define the amount of words back to say 500 it looks completely different to how it did before , not as bold, help?

When I go to my saved Clouds and add a Name or change the words the whole cloud changes to what looks like a deformed Rugby Ball :(
Help needed to please.

There were some changes to words repetition mechanism. Please read this blog post for more details.

I've just realized that there was a defect related to cloud shapes deployed with words repetition changes.

It just has been fixed.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused!

My problem hasnt been fixed Alex, if you click on my horse cloud and see how dark it is on the original and then just change the 1st name at the top of list and then visualize it is completely different to the original, there are also loads more duplicated words in it than there was originally, and its the same as this on all my clouds now

I've checked your cloud and it is affected by the changes to words repetition mechanism made today.

You've specified various light fonts (like Alex Brush, Briep, etc.) in Words section and selected "Headline One" in Fonts section.

Before only few words (specified in Words section) were written in light fonts and the others were written in "Headline One" which is heavy.

Now (with new words repetition mechanism) the majority of words are in light fonts (as it is specified in Words section) as repeated words also have a light font instead of "Headline One" before.

That's why your cloud looks different now.

Here are some suggestions for you:
1) For every word with specified font in Words section do the changes descirbed in the second part of this blog post. This will allow you to completely mimic the old behaviour.

2) Assign heavy fonts for more words in Words section or untick "Repeate?" for some words with light fonts.

To mimic old behaviour you need it to be:

Word2;;;;Alex Brush Regular;0
Word3;;;;BPreplay Regular;0
Word4;;;;BPreplay Italic;0
Word5;;;;Breip Medium;0
Word6;;;;Bubblegum Sans Regular;0

Word7
Word9
Word10
Word11
Word13
Word14
Word15
Word17
Word18
Word19

Just import the latter text into your words section and visualize your cloud.

The difference is that for all words that have a font specified "repeat checkbox" is unchecked and those words were duplicated with random parameters.
