    <p>I'm looking to build a Silverlight application and want to display a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_cloud" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Tag Cloud</a>. I think I have the data processing (word counting) side of it going (thanks to answers to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/354738/tag-cloud-in-c">this question</a>) but I'm looking for a good control to display the actual tag cloud.</p> <p>I found <a href="http://mark.mymonster.nl/2008/07/31/creating-a-silverlight-tagcloud-usercontrol/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this one</a>, but I'm not a fan of how the sample image looks - it doesn't seem to use the space very efficiently.</p> <p>I also found <a href="http://visualtagcloud.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this one</a> but I didn't have much luck with the sample. I had to work hard just to get it to compile on my machine (I think it was built for Silverlight 2?) and then when it ran, it was just an empty sphere with no tags. I couldn't find any live sample of it so I just have the sample image to go off of.</p> <p>Does anybody know of a good Tag Cloud control? Preferably one with the source available and with a live demo so I can try it out first.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> The control from <a href="http://samples.infragistics.com/sllob/ComponentOverview.aspx?cn=tag-cloud" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Infragistics</a> that Myles J mentioned looks okay but it also doesn't seem to use space very efficiently. When there is a mix of large and small letters on a line, it looks something like this:</p> <pre><code>[small] [B ] [Another Small] [ I ] [ G] </code></pre> <p>I like tag clouds that manage to compress everything so it looks more like:</p> <pre><code>[B ] [small] [ I ] [Another Small] [ G] </code></pre> <p>Some really nice examples of this kind of cloud can be found at: <a href="http://www.neoformix.com/2008/ClusteredWordClouds.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.neoformix.com/2008/ClusteredWordClouds.html</a></p> <p>Or better yet, if it can mix orientation so some are horizontal and some vertical, that would be nice. Something like the first example on this page: <a href="http://www.tagcloud-generator.com/demo.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.tagcloud-generator.com/demo.php</a></p>
