Cloud only shows 40 - 70 words for large content about d3-cloud HOT 3 CLOSED

This is currently expected, because the layout attempts to place words within a fixed-size rectangle. If the words are too large and they cannot be placed without overlapping, then they are dropped.

The solution is to figure out the right size for your words. If you want to show all 1,100 words, then perhaps your size needs to be much smaller.

It would be nice to automatically figure out the right size for words, perhaps using a heuristic based on the value distribution, so I’ll leave this issue open as a reminder to look into this.

Hiya. Thank you for taking the time to response.
I found that using the linear scale solves the problem :)

Just to clarify for anyone else viewing this, I have about 7500 words that I was pushing into the script, showing a maximum of 250 words.
With the log n scale, the cloud would only generate about 60 words into the cloud.
Using the √n (sqrt) scale, I'd get about 160 words.
And finally, using the n (linear) scale, I'd get all 250 words.

I hope that helps someone

I wonder if anyone has had any further thoughts on this? It wouldn't be much of a problem if it only showed the top so many words, but as it stands it is possible for some of the most significant words to be dropped, and this results in some odd-looking clouds.
