BaseX Stopword List
This visualization uses the BaseX stopword list as its dataset, showing the frequency and distribution of common English words in a compact, typographic layout. It displays each stopword as a text label, with visual weight reflecting word length and prominence. The rendering employs D3.js’s `d3.forceSimulation` to arrange the words in a non-overlapping, space-filling cluster, while a custom `d3.scaleLinear` maps word frequency to font size, creating a tag-cloud effect. The source data comes directly from the plain-text `stopwords.txt` file, parsed client-side, and the layout uses SVG text elements with CSS transitions for smooth positioning updates. The visualization highlights the repetitive structure of natural language processing filters.
