How can I generate a tag cloud in Java, with OpenCloud? [closed]

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11481482

Frage

I was looking for a library to create tag clouds in a Java application, and I found OpenCloud.

I don't want to have to use a web server, which OpenCloud will require to get the output in, won't it? Is there a way to get OpenCloud to work in a Java/Swing panel? I want something for a stand alone application. If this isn't possible, where else can I look for such an API?

War es hilfreich?

Lösung

Actually OpenCloud does not require a Web server. Simply use Swing rendering instead of HTML/JSP. Here is a small snippet illustrating a very basic Swing tag cloud using OpenCloud library. It can be improved, but it gives you the gist:

import java.util.Random;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;

import org.mcavallo.opencloud.Cloud;
import org.mcavallo.opencloud.Tag;

public class TestOpenCloud {

    private static final String[] WORDS = { "art", "australia", "baby", "beach", "birthday", "blue", "bw", "california", "canada", "canon",
            "cat", "chicago", "china", "christmas", "city", "dog", "england", "europe", "family", "festival", "flower", "flowers", "food",
            "france", "friends", "fun", "germany", "holiday", "india", "italy", "japan", "london", "me", "mexico", "music", "nature",
            "new", "newyork", "night", "nikon", "nyc", "paris", "park", "party", "people", "portrait", "sanfrancisco", "sky", "snow",
            "spain", "summer", "sunset", "taiwan", "tokyo", "travel", "trip", "uk", "usa", "vacation", "water", "wedding" };

    protected void initUI() {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame(TestOpenCloud.class.getSimpleName());
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        Cloud cloud = new Cloud();
        Random random = new Random();
        for (String s : WORDS) {
            for (int i = random.nextInt(50); i > 0; i--) {
                cloud.addTag(s);
            }
        }
        for (Tag tag : cloud.tags()) {
            final JLabel label = new JLabel(tag.getName());
            label.setOpaque(false);
            label.setFont(label.getFont().deriveFont((float) tag.getWeight() * 10));
            panel.add(label);
        }
        frame.add(panel);
        frame.setSize(800, 600);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                new TestOpenCloud().initUI();
            }
        });
    }

}

This code is based on the Example 1 of the OpenCloud library

Here is an output of what I got:

I created the word cloud library, Kumo (Cloud in Japanese), in Java. Oddly, I've always liked word clouds. :)

Kumo can generate BufferedImages, image files (PNG,BMP,etc), and also has examples showing usage in JPanels. The project is mavenized and in Maven Central to make integration easier. Below are a few example word clouds and there are more examples on Kumo's GitHub page: https://github.com/kennycason/kumo

There is also a JPanel example here and a screenshot here.

I've used openCloud to create simple java word clouds using word frequency and or log likelihood values to adjust the words weight (font size). The clouds use random colours and provide a simple random rotation.
