Words that appear more often are brighter. Words used more than once in the text are drawn only once, at their average position. Rays are drawn from a specific word to everywhere else in the text that it appears. Averaging helps show the viewer where a word is used. A curved line can connect the words in the order they appear in the text. This is just for fun, showing how the TextArc space relates to the original linear space of the text. A particular word can be highlighted in the arc and an overlay full-text window. Lines containing a specific word are drawn in green around the arc, in the text window, and even in the scrollbar. A concordance shows how many times each word is used. Words can be looked up in a Thesaurus and drawn in red.Webcam sites, including a “random
