Code Words

==========

Get a handle on unfamiliar code by extracting and visualising the natural language programmers used when writing it.

![Board Game Example](https://raw.github.com/npryce/code-words/master/examples/multiplayer-board-game.png)

An example generated from a multiplayer boardgame written in Java.

Usage

-----

    -code * | code-to-words -k  ... -s  ... | wordcloud -o .png

E.g.

    java-code project/src/ | code-to-words -k java-keywords -s cargo-cult-java-stop-words | wordcloud -o project.png

The stop-keyword files and stop-word files must have a single word per

line.

The words in keyword-files are filtered out after identifiers

have been extracted from the language but before any further processing.

The words in stop-word-files are filtered out after the identifiers

have been split into separate words at underscores or camel-case

boundaries and normalised to lowercase.

The wordcloud command has the following options:

 * -o _output-file_: output file name (image type is determined from the extension)

 * -s _width_x_height_ : width of the output image

Languages supported

-------------------

 * C: `c-code`

     * `c-keywords`: most C keywords

     * `c-primitive-type-keywords`: ignores basic C types (int, char, etc.)

 * C++: `c++-code`

     * `c++-keywords`: most C++ keywords

     * `c-primitive-type-keywords`: ignores basic C types (int, char, etc.)

 * C#: `csharp-code`

     * `csharp-keywords`: most C# keywords

     * `c-primitive-type-keywords`: ignores basic C types (int, char, etc.)

 * Haskell: `haskell-code`

     * `haskell-keywords`

 * HTML: `html-text`

     * no stop words file provided. Stop words files for various natural languages can be found on the web.

 * Java: `java-code`.

     * `java-keywords`: most keywords

     * `java-primitive-type-keywords`: ignores primitive types

     * `cargo-cult-java-stop-words`: ignores get, set, bean etc.  Use with the -s flag.

 * JavaScript: `javascript-code`.

     * `javascript-keywords`: ignores keywords and reserved words (from ECMA-262 Edition 3)

     * `java-primitive-type-keywords`: ignores primitive types

     * `nodejs-globals-keywords`: ignores node.js globals

 * Python: `python-code`

     * `python-keywords`: most keywords

 * Ruby: `ruby-code`

     * `ruby-keywords`

 * Scala: `scala-code`

     * `scala-keywords`

 * PHP: `php-code`

     * `php-keywords`: shows some keywords that may be the result of poor programming practice.

     * `php-strict-keywords`: ignores all keywords

 * Smalltalk: `smalltalk-code`

     * `smalltalk-keywords`: ignores keywords

Examples

--------

Example visualisations of various applications are in the examples/ directory.

Dependencies

------------

To extract text from source code:

 * Bash

 * Gnu Sed

 * Grep

 * Awk

To extract text from HTML:

 * w3m

To visualise the results

 

 * Java 1.6

It should work on any desktop Linux. It does not yet work on MacOS unless you install the Gnu command-line tools. If you install Gnu sed as `gsed` the script will use it.

To compile the Java wordcloud generator:

 * JDK 1.6

 * Gnu Make
