[Question] How to suppress logging/progress printing?

[svilupp]

Thank you for the amazing package.

I was wondering if there is a way to suppress all the printed messages when producing a word cloud?

I have disabled logging but there still a lot of commands sent to stdin (eg, here), which show up anyway.

My ideal outcome would be that I get only the word cloud output and none of the following messages:

total words: 63. Unique words: 43. After filtration: 42.
The top 42 words are kept.
angles = -60:60
mask size: 300×400, content area: 346² (53²/word)
set fontsize ∈ [8.0, 300]
set density = 0.5
The word "insightful"(56.063448564744085) is too big. Set maxfontsize = 50.883237416299686.
The word "collaborative"(45.12210419223353) is too big. Set maxfontsize = 39.79636673099108.

I think you can redirect the stderr and stdout to devnull. Such as

wc = redirect_stdio(stdout=devnull, stderr=devnull) do
    wordcloud("get only the word cloud output") |> generate!
end
