There are some automatic method (package, class, macro) in LaTeX to do a text collage similar to that showed in the image?

MWE

If not, is would be possible without too much manual work?. The background, the font and the shape of the collage does not matter (is enough a rentangular shape).

    I don't think someone has implemented a word cloud engine in TeX, yet. Maybe you have more luck searching for Lua libraries which could be leveraged. Here's a blog post which uses a Java word cloud engine which can be hooked into TeX: Word clouds in ConTeXt

  • For anyone trying to implement this, here's the algorithm wordle uses: Here's how Wordle actually works

  • The right words were finally "word clouds", so the question is really a duplicate. But I asked specifically for a LaTeX solution, that is not still answered in Marco's links. Although only related, for me only the cmhughes's link is in the right direction.
