How to do it

The script to create the word cloud is in the 08/04_so_word_cloud.py file.  This recipe continues on from the stack overflow recipes from chapter 7 to provide a visualization of the data. 

1. Start by importing the word cloud and the frequency distribution function from NLTK:

from wordcloud import WordCloudfrom nltk.probability import FreqDist

2. The word cloud is then generated from the probability distribution of the words we collected from the job listing:

freq_dist = FreqDist(cleaned)wordcloud = WordCloud(width=1200, height=800).generate_from_frequencies(freq_dist)

Now we just need to display the word cloud:

import matplotlib.pyplot as pltplt.imshow(wordcloud, interpolation='bilinear')plt.axis("off")plt.show()

And the resulting ...
