Notable Changes

  • The minimum version of PowerShell the module can be imported in is v7. See #33 for why I added this restriction.
  • New-WordCloud should now work on Unix systems. Give it a spin, and let me know if there are any issues!

New Features

Provider-Agnostic Output

-Path will now accept and successfully utilise any PSProvider path, provided that PSProvider supports the Set-Content API. In other words, this: $stuff | New-WordCloud -Path variable:image will actually create or overwrite the $image variable for you and populate it with SVG data.

This essentially means you can write the image data anywhere that PowerShell supports writing with Set-Content, including any custom providers that support it.

New -WordSizes Parameter

Added a -WordSizes parameter that takes a dictionary of words and their relative sizes.
For example:

New-WordCloud -WordSizes @{
    Apple = 10
    Orange = 20
    Banana = 15
    Pomegranate = 12
}

Words are scaled as a % of the largest specified word size, and the cmdlet does its best to fit them all into the given image size.

Bugfixes & Improvements

  • Improved algorithm for cases where New-WordCloud had some issues fitting words in if there were too few words and the words were of too similar size.
  • Improvements to the word splitting & trimming algorithms so we don't get words like 'new when we should be trimming those off.
  • Improvements to the build pipeline & module build script.
  • Added some sanity-check pester tests to the build pipeline.
  • Attempt to convert input objects of other types to string. This isn't a full Out-String (if anyone knows a straightforward way to utilise that API from C# that doesn't involve spinning up subshells just for that, let me know) so it will generally just be using the ToString() conversion for the object.
