For those who want to play with some of the TAPoR visualization toys on your own texts you can try the TAPoRware versions at:

Pattern Distribution. This will graph distribution of a pattern over the text.

Visual Collocator. This interactive toy (uses client-side Java) lets you see a web of collocates to a seed word.

Weighted Centroid. This interactive toy (uses client-side Java) lets you see the distribution of words on a circular graph.

Principal Component Analysis. This interactive toy (uses client-side Java) lets you see a 3D space of high frequency words. Choose the "Display as Java Applet" or you just get the data.

Raining Words. This interactive toy (uses client-side Java) flows high frequency words. Click in the centre and move your mouse to control the flow.

I've been blogging text visualization projects online for those interested in seeing other projects. Look at the archive, http://strange.humanities.mcmaster.ca/~grockwel/weblog/wpnotes/?cat=12
