Wordcloud in different shapes in R

Tags:

word-cloud

I have created a wordcloud in R using package "wordcloud".

But It is plotting wordcloud in any random shape. I want wordcloud in circular or Ellipse shape.

Is there any facility provided by R to create wordcloud in different shapes?

Can you make a word cloud in a specific shape?

You can pick a shape, select colors and fonts, and control how WordClouds generates the cloud. Artists will especially appreciate this feature. You can draw your own image with a transparent background, then upload it to WordClouds.

What happened to Wordle word clouds?

The original Wordle word cloud tool no longer exists, but there are others that still do and are still helpful. Here's a handful of them to try. Paste your text into Analyze My Writing and it will generate a ton of information about your writing.

Wordcloud does create wordclouds in a circle I believe -- if it doesn't look circular, play around with the scale of the words and their minimum frequency for inclusion. Depending on what your original word dataset is, though, it might be hard to get it into a true wordcloud shape. Here's an example of a wordcloud that is quite dense -- it does ultimately end up looking circular.
