Description

This package can be used to generate tag clouds. The output is HTML and CSS.

A Tag Cloud is a visual representation of so-called "tags" or keywords, that do
have a different font size depending on how often they occur on the page/blog. A
less used synonym for a Tag Cloud that came up before Web 2.0 is the term
"weightet list". Popular examples of Tag Clouds and their use can be found in
action at pages like Flickr, Del.icio.us and Technorati. A nice overview on what
a Tag Cloud can actually do can be found at WikiPedia:
http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_cloud

This package does not only visualize frequency, but also timeline information.
The newer the tag is, the deeper its color will be; older tags will have a
lighter color.

The main goal of "HTML_TagCloud" is to provide an easy to implement and
configureable Tag Cloud solution that is suitable for any PHP-based webapp.

Features:
- set up each tag's name, URL, frequency, age
- customizable colors
- customizable font-sizes

  Release notes

  License: PHP License

  New features
  - Added ability to set up timeline colors for tags dynamically by setting up a
  latestColor and a earliestColor and the number of thresholds.
  (requires PEAR package "Image_Color")
  - Added ability to set up multiple tag cloud per page by attaching a unique id
  to each tag cloud's individual css class identifiers
  Fixed issues
  - Fixed issue with setting up basefonsize and fontsizerange on extending class
  (doesn't got recognized when instance isn't constructed with these values;
  so they were useless in most of the cases)

• 0.1.3 (beta, 2008-01-23)
  Release notes

  License: PHP License

  Quality review release
  - Heavily applied PEAR Coding Standards
  - extended unit tests

  Fixed issues
  - Fixed hard-wired css class name: If cloud consists of one tag and epocLevel
  was set up by extending the class member, the default value for the css class
  may be incorrect if it was not "latest". This behaviour has been changed. The
  value for the css class is now based on the last value of a _epocLevel key
  string.
  - Returned value of _buidHTMLTags was of wrong type if no tags were set up.
  This behaviour has been changed. An empty tag cloud will now be displayed
  with text "not enough data" instead of returning an empty string.
