Code Cloud

Packed Code Cloud

The Code Cloud visualizes your codes and displays them relative to their frequency. In other words, codes that were used more often will be in a larger font and vice versa. This chart is great for displaying in presentations to communicate to your audience the most prominent codes and concepts in your study.
