Minimalist Tag Cloud Generator with jQuery - tagcloud.js

tagcloud.js is a super tiny jQuery plugin which generates a tag cloud from a group of text links, with variable text color and font size ranges.

Basic usage:

1. Include jQuery library and the jQuery tagcloud.js plugin at the bottom of your webpages.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.tagcloud.js"></script>

2. Create a group of text links and specify the intensity for each tag using rel attribute.

<div id="tagcloud">
  <a href="#" rel="1">Lorem</a>
  <a href="#" rel="2">ipsum</a>
  <a href="#" rel="3">dolor</a>
  ...
</div>

3. Call the plugin on the parent container to generate a basic tag cloud.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.tagcloud.js"></script>

4. Create a group of text links and specify the intensity for each tag using rel attribute.

$("#tagcloud a").tagcloud();

5. Override the default font size range.

$("#tagcloud a").tagcloud({
  size: {start: 12, end: 36, unit: "px"}
});

6. Add a color gradient effect to the tags.

$("#tagcloud a").tagcloud({
  size: {start: 12, end: 36, unit: "px"},
  color: {start: '#3498DB', end: '#46CFB0'}
});
