Wordcloud – Drawing wordclouds with METAPOST and Lua

This METAPOST and LuaLaTeX package allows drawing wordclouds from a list of words and weights. The algorithm is implemented with METAPOST whereas Lua is used to parse LaTeX commands, to build the list of words and weights from a text file and to generate METAPOST code interpreted by luamplib.
