WordCloud — faster, better and with custom shapes
The release of amCharts 5.20.1 brings a new and revamped WordCloud. It’s faster, complete with new features, and it can take any shape now.
Improved speed
And “improved” simply does not cut it. The new WordCloud now can render in one frame and is so fast, we’ve had to add additional settings for those who are used to the old animation of words building up one-by-one.
New angles and word fitting
It used to be possible to arrange the words only vertically or horizontally. No more—you can use any angle now.
There’s also a new setting allowNesting (default: true). Use it to either enable or disable word overlapping. If on, a smaller word will find a nook or cranny in the bigger one, and will settle in there cosily.
Use a shape, any shape
And, if that wasn’t enough, we’ve added an svgPath setting, that you can set to absolutely any SVG path and have your WordCloud take that shape.
