NAME

TreeCloud is used to visualize the concordance in the form of a tree cloud, where branches reflect semantic distance between the words

SYNOPSIS

INSTALLATION

To install this plugin you can download the latest .zip release from here and manually copy it to your App/plugins directory.

DESCRIPTION

TreeCloud standalone application was originally developped by Philippe Gambette (). It was converted into GramLab plugin in order to build treecloud right in the GramLab. TreeCloud uses algorithm created by Philippe Gambette to compute distances between the words. NeighborJoining algorithm (Saitou, Nei 1987) for computing the tree from distances and EqualAngle algorithm for building the tree. The tree is renderred in SVG format using Apache Batik SVG Toolkit. You can export the tree into several formats: Newick, SVG, PDF, JPEG. For more information please refer to the TreeCloud manual ().

CAVEATS

The SVG picture is not dynamic, that is, there is not yet possibility to zoom or rotate the picture. Moreover, there is no possibility to drag the words in case they are overlapping each other. These functionalities will be added in the next version. Stopwords can be removed only from trees built on English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and German languages.
