Word Cloud Chart
Display text data where each word's size corresponds to its weight or frequency. Requires the echarts-wordcloud extension which is loaded automatically.
Installation
dotnet add package Lumeo.Charts
One-time app setup (AddLumeo(), CSS & JS) is covered in the
installation guide.
Usage
@using Lumeo <WordCloudChart />
