Component body

A views plugin that renders items in an animated tagcloud-like display.

It doesn't do just "tags" - that is the name of the rendering library it uses

Stand-alone demo page

Very similar to http://drupal.org/project/views_cloud and other tagcloud tools, except it renders items using 'canvas' element and then rotates them with a 3d-ball sort of effect (instead of just text sizes)

It uses the same "TagCanvas" library http://www.goat1000.com/tagcanvas.php that http://drupal.org/project/tagcanvas does. The difference is that this has been adapted for views (eg, of node titles), not just tagadelic tags.

Right now it will not render full node teasers, just titles. A view that uses it should use 'fields' not 'content/teaser' views. To do full teasers, the base library would need to be a little modified. Right now, this is a clean copy of the (LGPL) TagCanvas library.

It DOES however also do a great job of rendering images. Basically, it will animate all items that the view produces that have [a] tags.

To use -
* make a view
* set it to display just linked titles
* Set the format to "Format:Views cloud - tagcanvas library"
* Use a modern browser. Support for alternate browsers may be added following instructions on the library page.

Version control : You must use the 7.x-1.x branch
