Props
<TermCloud>

TermCloudData
The data prop: one object for the whole chart.
The data as a JSON Schema: schemas/term-cloud.json
Term cloud: a React and Figma chart in four sizes
What does a term cloud show?
A term cloud sizes each word by how often it appears, so the loudest topics stand out at a glance. Colour adds a second signal, such as negative or positive tone. Use it for support conversations, survey answers and search terms when a rough order is enough.
Chartory ships it as a Figma component and a React component with the same name. The code installs from the shadcn registry with one command and lands in your project as a file you own.
What is the Term cloud component?
It is one <TermCloud> component. Its props are the Figma properties with the same names and values, and the props table above lists them. The data is terms with a weight from 0 to 1 and an optional tone.
Sizes XS, S, M and L re-lay the chart out from the data instead of scaling it, so labels stay readable at every size.
When should I use it?
- Is a rough order enough? Yes means the term cloud fits.
- Is it one period? Yes means the term cloud fits.
- Are the terms one flat list? Yes means the term cloud fits.
When does another type fit better?
- Word size is hard to measure. Use Horizontal bars instead.
- A cloud is one moment. Use Streamgraph instead.
- Groups need nesting. Use Treemap instead.
Term cloud questions
Installing, data, Figma and plans.
Yes. It installs through the shadcn registry with the shadcn CLI, and the file lands in your project.
It is free in Hearth and MIT licensed: add the @chartory registry URL once, no token, then run npx shadcn add @chartory/term-cloud. The Installation guide has the steps.
Yes. Connect the Chartory MCP server and ask for the term cloud chart; the agent runs the same command and you review the diff.
Terms with a weight from 0 to 1 and an optional tone. The sample data comes with the component, and the props table lists every field.
XS, S, M and L, in Figma and in code. Each size is laid out again from the data, so text and lines keep their size.
Yes. chart/073-term-cloud-support has the same properties as the component.
Yes. Every paint is a token, so the chart follows light and dark mode and the collection you pick.
None for Hearth: it is free in the public registry, no token. The Signal collection (@chartory/signal) comes with Code and Complete.
