A tag cloud (word cloud) sizes words according to how often they appear, instantly highlighting the dominant vocabulary in a text. AnyChart’s by-word parsing mode, ignore-word lists, and length filters make it straightforward to clean and visualize raw text data.
This sample analyzes “The Old Man and the Sea” by Ernest Hemingway, parsing the full text in by-word mode with a four-letter minimum length and a custom ignore-word list to exclude common stop words. The chart displays the top 150 terms, all rendered at a fixed -45 degree angle with 3 pixels of text spacing. The resulting cloud reveals Hemingway’s distinctive minimalist vocabulary and the novel’s recurring themes.
