Enable creation of two-mode networks

[juhopaak]

Currently the PrepText function accepts either words or groups as the node type. It would be useful to be able to create and visualize two-mode networks by using both of these as nodes.

I've also been wondering about this - reading the vignette really made me want to do two-mode networks - did I overlook something or is it just not possible?
I was also thinking of quick-and-dirty implementations, e.g. adding the words provided by the InterpretText function to the visualization - could that be a work-around if creating two-mode networks is not possible (yet)?

Hi theresa- sorry for the slow reply. When you say you want to do two-mode networks, do you mean you want to visualize two-mode networks?

Hi, thanks for the answer.
Yes, I mean visualizing (and of course also preprocessing, e.g. thinning out based on the number of connections etc.) . One of the things that drew me to trying out was the Two-mode networks visualization you have in the beginning of your vignette. Of course you propose to move beyond this two-mode form by projecting it to a one-mode form but are there plans to also implement projections in the two-mode form in the package?

No immediate plans, unfortunately. On Oct 29, 2018, at 11:37 AM, theresagessler <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, thanks for the answer.

I hope Chris won't mind the shameless plug. My Python implementation of textnets can visualize two-mode (bipartite) networks. I'm about to do a new release; here's a demo. See this example from the documentation.
