Kumo

Kumo's goal is to create a powerful and user friendly Word Cloud API in Java. Kumo directly generates an image file without the need to create an applet as many other libraries do.

Please feel free to jump in and help improve Kumo! There are many places for performance optimization in Kumo!

Word Frequency File / Analyzer

The most common way to generate word frequencies is to pass a String of text directly to FrequencyAnalyzer. The FrequencyAnalyzer contains many options to process and normalize input text.

Sometimes the word counts and word frequencies are already known and a consumer would like to load them directly into Kumo. To do so, you can manually construct the List<WordFrequency> yourself, or you can load in a text file containing the word frequency and word pairs. The FrequencyFileLoader can be used to load such files. The required format is:

100: frog
94: dog
43: cog
20: bog
3: fog
1: log
1: pog

Order does not matter as the FrequencyFileLoader will automatically sort the pairs.

Tokenizers

Tokenizers are the code that splits a sentence/text into a list of words. Currently only two tokenizers are built into Kumo. To add your own just create a class that override the Tokenizer interface and call the FrequencyAnalyzer.setTokenizer() or FrequencyAnalyzer.addTokenizer().

Tokenizer
WhiteSpaceWordTokenizer
ChineseWordTokenizer

Filters

After tokenization, filters are applied to each word to determine whether or not should be omitted from the word list.

To add set the filter, call FrequencyAnalyzer.setFilter() or FrequencyAnalyzer.addFilter()

Tokenizer	Description
UrlFilter	A filter to remove words that are urls.
CompositeFilter	A wrapper of a collection of filters.
StopWordFilter	Internally used, the FrequencyAnalyzer makes this filter easy to use via `FrequencyAnalyzer.setStopWords()`.
WordSizeFilter	Internally used, the FrequencyAnalyzer makes this filter easy to use via `FrequencyAnalyzer.setMinWordLength()` and `FrequencyAnalyzer.setMaxWordLength()`.

Normalizers

After word tokenization and filtering has occurred you can further transform each word via a normalizer. The default normalizer ia lowerCase•characterStripping*trimToEmpty(word), the normalizer is even named DefaultNormalizer

To add set the normalizer, call FrequencyAnalyzer.setNormalizer() or FrequencyAnalyzer.addNormalizer()

Normalizers	Description
CharacterStrippingNormalizer	Constructed with a Pattern, it will replace all matched occurrences with a configurable 'replaceWith' string. The default pattern is `\.
LowerCaseNormalizer	Converts all text to lowercase.
UpperCaseNormalizer	Converts all text to uppercase.
TrimToEmptyNormalizer	Trims the text down to an empty string, even if null.
UpsideDownNormalizer	Converts A-Z,a-z,0-9 character to an upside-down variant.
StringToHexNormalizer	Converts each character to it's hex value and concatenates them.
DefaultNormalizer	Combines the TrimToEmptyNormalizer, CharacterStrippingNormalizer, and LowerCaseNormalizer.
BubbleTextNormalizer	Replaces A-Z,a-z with characters enclosed in Bubbles ⓐ-ⓩⒶ-Ⓩ (requires a supporting font)

Command Line Interface (CLI)

Kumo can now be accessed via CLI. It is not quite as flexible as the programmatic interface yet but should support most of the common needs.

The CLI Documentation can be found here.

The below examples assume you have the jar installed under the name of "kumo". To install via Brew run the following command.

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kennycason/kumo/master/script/kumo.rb

My primary IDE of choice is IntelliJ due to their robust tooling as well as code analysis/inspections. If using IntelliJ IDEA, I recommend importing KumoIntelliJInspections.xml. I am also consiering adding Checkstyle support.
