    suniform space proportional to s
    {s1,s2}uses s1 along the word and s2 perpendicular to it

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

Use minimal spacing between words:

Wolfram Language code: input = Select[StringSplit[ToLowerCase@ExampleData[{"Text", "AliceInWonderland"}], Except[WordCharacter]..], !StringMatchQ[#, WordData[All, "Stopwords"], IgnoreCase -> True]&];
Wolfram Language code: WordCloud[input, WordSpacings -> 0]

Specify a larger spacing around the words:

Wolfram Language code: WordCloud[input, WordSpacings -> 2]

Specify different spacings for left and right and for top and bottom of each word:

Wolfram Language code: WordCloud[input, WordSpacings -> {3, 0}]
