Creates a word cloud from an open end question

Finds the frequencies of each word in an open end question and creates a word cloud based on the frequencies. Words mentioned less are smaller and lighter in color

Usage

wordcloud_y2(
  dataset,
  variable,
  colors = "bluepurple",
  max_size = 12,
  min_size = 1,
  font_family = "Flama",
  top_x = 50
)

Arguments

dataset

no default. Usually piped in from your main dataset

variable

The name of the openended variable from your dataset you want to look at

colors

DEFAULT = 'bluepurple'; 4 qualtrics colors as pre-made options: "bluepurple", "lime", "teal", "brightblue". May also specify a vector of 3 scaled colors ranging from lightest to darkest

max_size

DEFAULT = 12; the largest text size for the word with the highest frequency

min_size

DEFAULT = 1; the smallest text size for the word with the lowest frequency

font_family

DEFAULT = 'Flama'; all fonts used need to be previously loaded in using the font_add() and showtext_auto() functions

top_x

DEFAULT = 50; Shows the top X most commonly mentioned words you want to see from the open-end

Examples

responses <- tibble::tibble(
  var1 = c(
    'I like to talk about dogs',
    'Dogs are cool but cats are aight too',
    'I prefer dogs over cats',
    "My dog's collars are always too tight",
    'One last sentence about dogs',
    'Cats collars are typically cooler than dogs'
  )
)

RED_DARK <- '#C61616'
RED_MID <- '#E38B8B'
RED_LIGHT <- '#F9E6E6'

# If you want to use a specific color, you must specify three scalar shades of that color
responses %>% wordcloud_y2(var1, font_family = "Arial")
#> Error in wordcloud_y2(., var1, font_family = "Arial"): The font you specified in the 'font_family' argument does not exist in your R session
responses %>% wordcloud_y2(var1, c(RED_LIGHT, RED_MID, RED_DARK), font_family = "Arial",)
#> Error in wordcloud_y2(., var1, c(RED_LIGHT, RED_MID, RED_DARK), font_family = "Arial",     ): The font you specified in the 'font_family' argument does not exist in your R session
