WordCloud

WordCloud[{s1,s2,}]

generates a word cloud graphic in which the si are sized according to their multiplicity in the list.

WordCloud[{w1s1,}]

generates a word cloud in which the si are sized according to the weights wi.

WordCloud[s1w1,]

also generates a word cloud in which the si are sized according to the weights wi.

WordCloud[{w1,w2,}{s1,s2,}]

also generates a word cloud in which the si are sized according to the weights wi.

WordCloud[{{s1,w1},{s2,w2},}]

also generates a word cloud in which the si are sized according to the weights wi.

WordCloud[data,shape]

fits the word cloud into the region defined by shape.
