ar_wordcloud

A tiny wrapper around wordcloud.WordCloud to support WordCloud with Arabic text.

Installation:

• $ pip install ar_wordcloud

Usage:

Also, see the notebook example.

Import and instantiate the main class:

from ar_wordcloud import ArabicWordCloud

awc = ArabicWordCloud(background_color="white")

Then, either build a word cloud from a raw text string:

t = 'أهلاً وسهلا، اللغة العربية جميلة'
wc = awc.from_text(t)
wc.to_file('hello.png')

Or, build a word cloud from a dictionary:

d = {"مرحبا": 12, "برمج": 8, "من": 10, "رمضان كريم": 15, "العيد قرب": 12, "اهلين": 1, "كورونا": 3}
dict_wc = awc.from_dict(d, ignore_stopwords=True)
awc.plot(dict_wc, title="كل عام وانتم بخير", width=2, height=2)

Or, read text from a file:

wc = awc.from_file('examples/arabic.txt')
wc.to_file('examples/arabic.png')

TODO:

• support mask plots
• clean input text (remove punct .. etc)
• support input from file e.g. awc.from_file(fname)
• browse available fonts and select favorite
• fix English font
• cli support

PRs are welcome, thanks 🙏
