Is there somewhere a java interface of a dynamic word / tag?

There are many great words and tag clouds, the most notable of which is wordle.net . But I want to show something similar to what some did for the Twitter replay of the 2010 World Cup, just not using flash. I am not very familiar with R, but it seems to be the best tool for generating some statistical decay of font size over time. Is there a Java API (or a combination of APIs) that can facilitate this feature from the start?

I do not know about a good R-package for this. There are some features, such as cloud in the snippets package, and possibly other features, but nothing compared to http://wordle.net , http://tagcrowd.com/ or Many Eyes . Drew Conway did some nice things with tm + ggplot2 ; I also played with it a while ago, but it was more for playing with a cloud of 3D tags (with rgl ) than wordle.

There are some ongoing projects in Python or Processing that are described in detail in this question . As far as I know, Tagxedo looks great, but it does not have an API, and it relies on Silverlight.

Pierre Lindenbaum also has some Java code, see his blog post Game with Wordle Algorithm: Mesh Condition Tag Cloud .

This is not very good, but there is an open source project (alas, in PHP), which over time fills the word with layers. This example uses the speeches of the president. http://chir.ag/projects/preztags/

Here is the one I created in Java as part of a larger project to get information from unstructured data: https://github.com/regunathb/Sift . The project "tagcloud" has all the necessary classes for creating a tag cloud and writing it to several image formats with placement.
