Hi,
first of all, thanks for the positive feedback!
Hyperlinking is not supported yet, but it sounds like a great idea, so I
will add it in the future. Cloudio was initially implemented as a
visualization component for a natural language processing framework. I
think it is most useful in (simple) data visualization, at least this
was the initial idea, and this is what I would like to expand on. Thus,
I'm thinking that it would really fit into Zest, as it shares the same
goals - it might be less visible there, but it could be combined with
existing Zest components, and I could also add new visualizations.
I'm sorry for the back and forth - I really didn't want to cause work
for nothing, and Fabian and I hope that we can make up for it, maybe
with a frosty beverage at EclipseCon Europe...
All the best,
Stephan

Hi,
I looked at the widget examples. Nice work. Do you provide some kind
of hyperlinking? What kind of use cases do you envision for this widget?
I think the Nebula project would give it more visibility.
Regards,
Wim

Hi folks!
Stephan and I have been talking about contributing this to Eclipse
in the previous days. Our initial idea was Nebula. Only today it
occurred to me that this is actually a visualization component,
and therefore would be a perfect fit for Zest
(http://www.eclipse.org/gef/zest/). So I told Stephan that we'd be
very interested in this contribution. Any thoughts on what makes
most sense?
Cheers,
Fabian
Hi Stephan,
It looks very nice. I skimmed through the TagCloud.java source
which I assume is the main class and it looks neatly programmed
and well documented. I will try to give it a spin real soon. I'm
sure Tom will jump in with the details but you need to file a bug.
Here is the tracking bug I used to file the Oscilloscope widget.
Just take that as an example.

This will start the IP examination process.

Hello Nebula Developers,
I was wondering if you are interested in a widget I wrote - it
is a tag cloud visualization inspired by wordle
(http://www.wordle.net/), which I was developing for a project
at my university. It still requires some more testing and
documentation (and performance/memory improvements), but
nevertheless it is usable already. If you'd like to take a look,
you will find it at https://github.com/sschwieb/Cloudio - maven
will generate the core plug-in as well as a demo RCP
application, but to get a first impression, some screenshots and
code snippets can be found in the wiki
(https://github.com/sschwieb/Cloudio/wiki).
The tag cloud itself is customizable in many ways - fonts, font
sizes, colors and rotation can be defined for each rendered
string, and the layout algorithm can also be modified easily. I
also implemented a TagCloudViewer, which supports label- and
content providers, and added support for zooming as well as
mouse- and selection listeners. The licence already is EPL, and
the widget does not make use of any third party libraries or
other external code.
Please let me know what you're thinking - if the widget would
generally fit into Nebula, I would spend some more time to meet
your requirements.
All the best,
Stephan Schwiebert
