//Settings / Variables
var max = 150; //max css size (in percent)
var min = 70; //min css size (in percent)
var showCount = false;  // show counts? true for yes,
 false for no
var minCount = 1;  // what is the minimum count for a tag 
 to be shown? 1 for all


//Begin code:
var range = max - min;

//Build label Array
var labels = new Array();

//Counts
var counts = new Array();
<b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'>
counts.push(&quot;<data:label.count/>&quot;);
</b:loop>

//Number sort funtion (high to low)
function sortNumber(a, b)

//Make an independant copy of counts for sorting
