ctag

ctag is a tag-cloud generator, a first version was written for the 5. coding contest of http://www.freiesmagazin.de/, but i rewrote most parts.

Requirements

In general you need:

• python3,
• python3-tk
• python3-venv
• pdftotext (for pdf support as input)
• inkscape (for pdf support as output)
• pandoc (for markdown, docx, ... support)

All python requirements are listet in requirements.list

You can easily install a local virtual python environment using ./prepare.sh, after running this script you can use ./ctag.sh for running all commands.

Example:

Run:

./ctag.sh examples/ascii --pdf_output

Usage

Just run ./ctag.sh -h:

usage: ctag.py [-h] [--cpu_count CPU_COUNT] [--output_file OUTPUT_FILE]
               [--remove_stop_words] [--min_freq MIN_FREQ] [--min_len MIN_LEN]
               [--language LANGUAGE] [--pdf_output] [--debug]
