I would like to add a "tag cloud" to a project I'm working on. I see tons of them via google, but they seem to mostly be "enter an url" type.

Here's an example of what I mean:

I'm looking for one which either has either

  • a nice web-accessible api
  • a standalone local executable (linux preferred)
  • a linkable library (c,python preferred)

of course, other options and suggestions appreciated!

update: it seems what I am looking for is commonly called a tag cloud and not a text cloud, even though I am interested in using it to view blocks of text.

update 2: the Most Excellent Jonathan Feinberg and IBM have release Wordle... hooray!!!

This question is old and already answered, but I would like to say that Wordcram seems to be very nice. And it's open source.
