Is there a way to create a word cloud in the shape of one or multiple letters ?

For example a word cloud with the "PowerShell" word which would contains all the cmdlet names present on your machine.

Or "PSGallery" with the top 200 modules names

Currently, no, not without modifying the code.

Doing so wouldn't be trivial, but it wouldn't be overly tricky. I wouldn't recommend doing this in a bitmap image, however; the detail level is not high enough.

I have an experimental branch implementing the same code in C# in the Cmdlet branch that is almost completely functional. We could look at adding that as a new feature there, as SkiaSharp is used instead & supports vector files, which would make this significantly more feasible.

Thanks @vexx32 for the quick reply! Not sure i can help with the c# but I'm available if you need me to test it out 😄

Yeah, I'll have to tidy it up and at least put a pre-release onto the gallery or something.

Not 100% convinced of its stability just yet, but it's very consistent so far. I'll give you a ping when we get a pre-release out if you'd like to put it through its paces :D

@lazywinadmin I've released the cmdlet version to the gallery.

I have some ideas on how to get started on this, and of some potential obstacles... I'll have a chat with some of the SkiaSharp fellows to see if there's a good way through some of the trickier points. 😄
