Nobel Laureates’ Countries, or Making Tag Cloud with JavaScript
October 3rd, 2023 by Awan Shrestha
The Nobel Prize 2023 announcements are just around the corner, scheduled from October 2 to 9. Recently, I stumbled upon this news, sparking my interest in Nobel laureates and their countries of origin.
This curiosity led me to the comprehensive list of Nobel Prize winners on Britannica, which I transformed into an interactive tag cloud (or word cloud) using JavaScript, providing an elegant means to explore and uncover the countries with the highest number of Nobel laureates throughout history.
During this process, it dawned on me that this visualization could serve as an excellent illustrative example for a tutorial on creating interactive JS-based tag clouds. So, if you share my curiosity about Nobel laureates by country, you’re in for a treat right below! and if you’re eager to learn how I brought this tag cloud to life — and, therefore, how you can create your own — read on!

Flippity Uses AnyChart in Word Cloud Visualization Tool
October 26th, 2020 by AnyChart Team
While thousands of companies choose AnyChart to operate interactive data visualization in commercial projects, we are especially proud our charting solutions have been put for good use in education. Here’s a great new case, for example.
Have you heard about Flippity? It is a fascinating free web project providing teachers (and students) with an extremely straightforward way to turn Google Sheets’ spreadsheets into something cool and useful in the education process — flashcards, quizzes, games, timelines, leaderboards, random name pickers, progress indicators, and many other online things. Earlier this year, Flippity added a dedicated tool to create a Word Cloud from a Google spreadsheet, and we are excited it is powered by our JavaScript charting library!
To learn and tell you more about Flippity and their experience using AnyChart JS for data visualization, we had a quick talk with Steve Fortna, a school teacher from Massachusetts and the creator of Flippity. Check out the interview! (Stack: HTML/Google Sheets.)

How to Create JavaScript Word Cloud Chart — Tutorial for Web Developers
April 30th, 2019 by Irina Maximova
Wondering how to make a beautiful interactive Word Cloud using JS? Then you’re in the right place! In this data visualization tutorial, I’ll guide you through the entire development process, demonstrating it’s easier to create a JavaScript word cloud chart for an HTML5 app or web page than you might think!
Also known as tag clouds, word clouds represent a popular visual technique designed to reveal how often tags (or basically, any words) are mentioned in a given text body. Essentially, the word cloud chart type leverages diverse colors and sizes to display at a glance different levels of relative prominence.
Now that we’ve got an idea of what a word cloud is, let’s get down to learning how to quickly code one using JavaScript!
