![]() ![]() The most important one is outlined here: “Algorithm to implement something like Wordle”. In spite of the fact that the Wordle's code partly belongs to IBM, Feinberg has left a few clues about the algorithm. Yes indeed! The hardest part of the whole challenge is in speeding up hit-tests, and you can't imagine how this Java performance problem looks like when translated into the InDesign JS context! After remaining at a standstill for a long time, I decided to start my script from the beginning again. It’s full glyph intersection testing, but with a sprinkle of CS applied to make it work at interactive speeds.” Feinberg says: “It’s not quite ‘simple bounding box,’ which wouldn’t permit words inside words, or nestling up to ascenders and descenders. I was naively dreaming to operate the same way from the InDesign DOM! Too much confident in my scripting abilities, I still hadn't realized how powerful the Feinberg's core algorithm was, until I found this post on “Kelso’s Corner” blog. I began to work on Wordalizer for InDesign in September 2008! Jonathan Feinberg had just launched its brilliant Wordle Java applet and I was highly impressed by the typographical perfection that Wordle could reach in word clouding. ![]()
