Introduction

WordCloud-Python is a Python script that allows you to create stunning word clouds from your text data using the popular matplotlib, numpy, and wordcloud libraries. A word cloud is a visual representation of the most frequent words in a given text, where the size of each word is proportional to its frequency.

Installation

1. Make sure you have Python 3.x installed on your system.

2. Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/YourUsername/WordCloud-Python.git

3. Navigate to the project directory:

cd WordCloud-Python

4. Install the required Python packages:

pip install matplotlib numpy wordcloud

Usage

To generate a word cloud from your text data, follow these steps:

1. Prepare your text data in a plain text file. Ensure the file is encoded in UTF-8 for proper handling of non-ASCII characters.

2. Replace the sample text file /path/to/your/text.txt with the path to your own text file in the generate_wordcloud.py script.

3. Run the script:

python generate_wordcloud.py

4. A word cloud image will be generated based on the text in your file. The word cloud will be displayed, and you can also find it saved as word_cloud.png in the project directory.
