Let us demonstrate how to compare text profiles using word clouds, by considering the text of the collected plays of William Shakespeare.
We are working with the dataset Shakespeare's Plays, created from the datafile shakespeare_play_text.csv.
Populate the shelves from the available fields:
Text
to the Dimensions
shelf.Record Count
to the Measures
shelf.Play
to the X shelf to trellis
the visual.Play
to the Filters shelf, and
select some of the plays. We filtered on Anthony and Cleopatra, Hamlet,
Julius Caesar, Othello, and Troilus and Cressida.Click Refresh Visual.
Save and Close the visual.
Notice that the word clouds for these plays feature the names of leading characters prominently.
