Words bigger for less weighted word??

11 years ago

In my word clouds the wrong words are coming out with the biggest font. Is there some calculation of volume of the word overall, as the ones which should be bigger are sets of two longer words.

This means my word cloud gives the wrong information to viewers.

I have the same concern. Is there an answer?

To be more concrete I would like you to create a cloud (and post link to it) and describe what exactly words are coming out while they shouldn't be. Otherwise I won't be able to provide you specific answer.

I happen to have an example of this, Alex.
The cloud "RWN emotive cloud 4" has the words Discipline & Overcome each with a weight of 70 and it is smaller than Fierce with a weight of 50 and the words Plank, Jump & Move which have a weight of 30.

I can not even imagine how complicated the programming must be to have Tagul perform the magic it does, but I would love to have the option to limit the range of font sizes a weight will produce so that all words in a cloud with a weight of 70 would be of a similar size, all with a weight of 30 would be similar, etc.

I have the same problem. Words with more weight should be in the middle and when I tried that is not what happen. Words with 30 instead of 70 appears to be bigger. A disaster!!

@Jim.mueller, I've looked into your cloud and admit that words Discipline & Overcome are smaller than Fierce. I've done some amendments to the algorithm to handle weights better but it will be available only in next release that is planned in April.
