A little text cloud generator in Python, that generates a cloud of sentences from a list of sentences given as ain input. This is based on the nifty package from AMueller's, the wordcloud. Read more about the wordcloud package on the [blog post][blog-post] or the [website][website].

The code is tested against Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7.

Installation

If you are using pip:

pip install textcloud

Installation notes

textcloud depends on numpy and pillow.

To save the textcloud into a file, matplotlib can also be installed. See examples below.

If there are no wheels available for your version of python, installing the package requires having a C compiler set up. Before installing a compiler, report an issue describing the version of python and operating system being used.
