advice solicitation for a project

so ever since i saw this on the daily photo project (originator?) guy's page, i thought it would be kinda cool to try doing something similar.

i haven't really thought about it much other than the initial stuff. i have absolutely no idea how i'm going to do the visualization or details thereof.

i'm just going to braindump my ideas here and hope you all do the same.

so, similar to volumetric redundancies, the book will be shown from front to back vertically:

front
|
middle
|
back

probably two running counts; one array based on words:

columns:
paragraph | word | position | count

paragraph - which paragraph the word first appears in
word
position - the position of the word within the paragraph
count - how many times this word is used in the entire domeepent

keep word position records for null entries in visual, but populate count with pre-exist code.

one array based on paragraphs:

columns:
paragraph | word count

paragraph
word count - number of words in the paragraph

i could do it all in one array but it just seems easier.

visualization, maybe:

the radius of each paragraph would be based on word count of that paragraph
paragraphs would be displayed as rings (1,5,10,etc nodes expanding from center) or square grids?
spiral or even distribution out?
order from center-out based on order in paragraph or sort by frequency?

dent: YES

mofo: i'm going to be doing the parsing part in perl. i have no idea/experience regarding visualization. maybe blender. the original author mentions maya or processing in a comment.

I'm trying to understand what about these images inspired you, Mundhra.

As far as visualization, you could use OpenGL + GLUT. Should take just a few days to realize how to render cubes in 3d and save renders as images.

Let the baby roast rest for an hour, then have your guests help pull the meat. Everyone will have fond memories of the event to cherish FOREVER!

Do you keep them penned up like veal and infuse them with formula or mother's milk? I hear formula fed babies have a medicinal taste. I don't want that for the party.... I would be a terrible host.
