wordcloud approximate replacement — ggwordcloud • ggwordcloud

ggwordcloud is meant as an approximate replacement for wordcloud. It has almost the same syntax but allows only the words/freqs input. As the underlying algorithms are not strictly equal, the resulting wordcloud is only similar to the ones one can obtain with wordcloud.

ggwordcloud(
  words,
  freq,
  scale = c(4, 0.5),
  min.freq = 3,
  max.words = Inf,
  random.order = TRUE,
  random.color = FALSE,
  rot.per = 0.1,
  colors = "black",
  ordered.colors = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

words: the words
freq: their frequencies
scale: A vector of length 2 indicating the range of the size of the words.
min.freq: words with frequency below min.freq will not be plotted
max.words: Maximum number of words to be plotted. least frequent terms dropped
random.order: plot words in random order. If false, they will be plotted in decreasing frequency
random.color: choose colors randomly from the colors. If false, the color is chosen based on the frequency
rot.per: proportion words with 90 degree rotation
colors: color words from least to most frequent
ordered.colors: if true, then colors are assigned to words in order
...: Additional parameters to be passed to geom_text_wordcloud

Value

a ggplot

Examples
