Word Options

Word options allow you to customize the words in the word cloud visual based on different options. This option helps you to manage the words in the word cloud.

Different settings offered by Word options are:

Full span canvas

Applying this option in Word Cloud will fill the entire space, which is useful when you have a lot of text. By default, this option is enabled, in case you want to disable this you can simply de-check the box.

When you disable the full-span canvas option the whole visual will confine to a small square.

Note: This option is not applicable to the shape option selected.

Auto word limit

This option lets you set a limit for the length of each word. By default, this option is set to auto-mode but you can customize the number of characters in a word by disabling the auto mode. Once you disable the option you will get an option for a character limit. Now you can set the number of characters in a word.

Auto text size

The option lets you decide the size of the text in a word. By default, the text size is set to auto but you can customize the text size option by disabling the auto mode.

When you disable the auto-made you get the option of max and min. In the max and min box you can enter the number and customize the size of the word according to your requirements. The min decides the minimum limit and the max decides the maximum limit of the word in word cloud visual.

Split word

The option allows you to divide any word, phrase, or sentence by using commas, spaces, or special characters. You can choose a pre-set style or enter the value.

You can split words in 4 different ways:

• Comma(,)

• Space( )

• Comma and Space

• Special Characters- In the case of a special character you need to enter the special character ($-@!]).

Note: If you input space or comma that will be treated as a special character and will split the value based on comma and space.

Auto gap between word

To use this option, enable the shape option. By default, auto mode is on to change the gap you can disable the auto mode. Once you disable the auto-mode you will get the option of spacing, in this you can enter the number. If the input number is small then the gap will be small and if the input number is large then the gap will be enlarged and some of the words will get hidden.

Note: Best gap rendering is in between numbers 30-40.
