Word Cloud Generator for Rails

Question

Is there a Ruby / Rails library in which I can generate word clouds (the output should be an image file), for example, in Wordle.net ?

Answer 1

Why should it be a Ruby / Rails library?

You can use JQCloud , which is a good jQuery plugin for creating word and tag clouds.

Answer 2

Have you seen the heatmap ? There's also a good blog post explaining this:
