0.1.5 Cleaned up the display. Added some useful usage hints. Added ability to zoom out. Sorted "sub tags" alphabetically. Pulled this changelog out to a separate page. Adde the Master Cloud.
0.1.4 Added the tag cloud to the left of the page. These are some of the most comon tags used other than the tag featured on the page. Clicking on one of them will highlight all the books that used that tag. Clicking again will remove the highlight.
0.1.3 I'm in the process of generating a TON of plots now. For each plot I look at all of the books tagged with a certain word (in this case ). I then look at all the other tags that are used on those books. After some calculations I have x and y coordinates and some meaningful colors.
If you want to check out some other plots, here are some I have ready: adventure - alternate history - contemporary fantasy - cyberpunk - dark fantasy - epic - epic fantasy - fantasy - fantasy series - graphic novel - historical fiction - horror - military science fiction - paranormal - post-apocalyptic - science fiction - space opera - urban fantasy - vampire
0.1.2 first zoom functionality implemented. Just drag a rectangle around the area you want to view in more detail. For now, you'll have to refresh to see the full plot again.
0.1.1 This iteration has 2 improvements over the last version. The biggest is that I ran this on 100 tags instead of just 10. That in and of itself creates some clearer groupings. The second improvement is even more exciting.
I decided to use the color of the dots to convey some meaning. The first and second principle components are mapped respectively to the x and y axis, just like before. Now I'm also mapping the 3rd, 4th and 5th principle componets to Red, Green and Blue, respectively. Hopefully this makes exploring groupings a bit clearer.
My next feature, since it's been requested by almost everyone I've shown this to, will be a mechanism to know which dots correspond to which tags. I have a pretty good idea how I'm going to go about this. Even when that feature is available I highly encourage users to just explore.
Please leave thoughts and comments over on my blog or discuss in the TagShadow Forums.
