Requirements

• PHP with PDO
• jQuery
• HTML5 Browser with Canvas support (aka anything that is not IE 8 or lower)

Usage

1. Clone or download into a directory on your web server, let's call the directory "wordcloud"

2. After you have loaded jQuery with a <SCRIPT> tag, load the plugin

   <script type="text/javascript" src="wordcloud/jquery.wordcloud.js"></script>

3. Put a canvas somewhere on your page

   <canvas id="cloudcanvas" width="600" height="400"></canvas>

4. After the DOM is ready, call the wordCloud function on the canvas

   $("#cloudcanvas").wordCloud({
      database: {
         // database parameters go here, see parameters section
      }
   });

That's it! See the tests in the tests directory for some living examples.
