code .▼3. Let’s run WordCloud using Python
3-1. Creating Python code to run WordCloud
Creating python file “wctest3.py” to run WordCloud. the font path is set to a “font_path” parameter in this code.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from wordcloud import WordCloud
x, y = np.ogrid[:300, :300]
mask = (x - 150) ** 2 + (y - 150) ** 2 > 130 ** 2
mask = 255 * mask.astype(int)
with open('textjpnv2.txt', 'r') as f:
text = f.read()
wc=WordCloud(mask=mask,background_color="white",font_path="/home/xxx/wordcloudtest/ipaexm00401/ipaexm.ttf").generate(text)
plt.imshow(wc, interpolation='bilinear')
plt.axis("off")
plt.show()3-2. Result
