In this video, I show you how to make word clouds with the tm library and wordcloud2 library in just a few minutes. We first start by cleaning our text, then building our word cloud. We don't just stop there though, because there are lots of potential improvements you can make to your wordcloud.

Many thanks for this, I really appreciated your advice to use word clouds to compare things rather than just show something without any other reference point. I also liked the welcome surprise of that font package, definitely going to use it as well! All the best.

wordclouds are great... although what's been difficult is getting them to reflect nicely in an rmarkdown document. wordcloud2 puts some neat js w/ it while wordcloud makes a static image -- so you may have to utilize htmlwidgets or plotly.

what would be great is a series on incorporating libraries for text analysis. it's intuitive to put together an x-y graph with some count of a discrete variable to gain some understanding... but what would be good approaches to get value out of textual data?

Is is possible to control the speed at which the words are displayed?

You're a fanomena. Can fit this into 5 classes of r course

when i run this code

df = df %>%
> 2,
word != "don’")

i get this error below

Error in `filter()`:
! Problem while computing `..1 = nchar(as.character(word)) > 2`.
Caused by error in `nchar()`:
! invalid multibyte string, element 300
Run `rlang::last_error()` to see where the error occurred.
