EmojiCloud: a Tool for Emoji Cloud Visualization

EmojiCloud

We propose and develop open-source EmojiCloud to visualize a cluster of emojis according to associated frequency weights.

Description

EmojiCloud is an open-source Python-based emoji cloud visualization tool that generates a quick and straightforward understanding of emojis from the perspective of frequency and importance. EmojiCloud is flexible enough to support diverse drawing shapes, such as rectangles, ellipses, and image masked canvases. We also follow inclusive and personalized design principles to cover the unique emoji designs from seven emoji vendors (e.g., Twitter, Apple, and Windows) and allow users to customize plotted emojis and background colors. We hope EmojiCloud can benefit the whole emoji community due to its flexibility, inclusiveness, and customizability.

Getting Started

Dependencies

• PIL

Installing

pip install EmojiCloud
