Most basic
The VennDiagram package allows to build Venn Diagrams thanks to its venn.diagram() function. It takes as input a list of vector. Each vector providing words.
The function starts bycounting how many words are common between each pair of list. It then draws the result, showing each set as a circle.
The output is available as a .png file in your current working directory.
# Load library
library(VennDiagram)
# Generate 3 sets of 200 words
set1 <- paste(rep("word_" , 200) , sample(c(1:1000) , 200 , replace=F) , sep="")
set2 <- paste(rep("word_" , 200) , sample(c(1:1000) , 200 , replace=F) , sep="")
set3 <- paste(rep("word_" , 200) , sample(c(1:1000) , 200 , replace=F) , sep="")
# Chart
venn.diagram(
x = list(set1, set2, set3),
category.names = c("Set 1" , "Set 2 " , "Set 3"),
filename = '#14_venn_diagramm.png',
output=TRUE
)Customize it
The venn.diagram() function offers several option to customize the output. Those options allow to customize the circles, the set names, and the intersection values.
# Load library
library(VennDiagram)
# Generate 3 sets of 200 words
set1 <- paste(rep("word_" , 200) , sample(c(1:1000) , 200 , replace=F) , sep="")
set2 <- paste(rep("word_" , 200) , sample(c(1:1000) , 200 , replace=F) , sep="")
set3 <- paste(rep("word_" , 200) , sample(c(1:1000) , 200 , replace=F) , sep="")
# Prepare a palette of 3 colors with R colorbrewer:
library(RColorBrewer)
myCol <- brewer.pal(3, "Pastel2")
# Chart
venn.diagram(
x = list(set1, set2, set3),
category.names = c("Set 1" , "Set 2 " , "Set 3"),
filename = '#14_venn_diagramm.png',
output=TRUE,
# Output features
imagetype="png" ,
height = 480 ,
width = 480 ,
resolution = 300,
compression = "lzw",
# Circles
lwd = 2,
lty = 'blank',
fill = myCol,
# Numbers
cex = .6,
fontface = "bold",
fontfamily = "sans",
# Set names
cat.cex = 0.6,
cat.fontface = "bold",
cat.default.pos = "outer",
cat.pos = c(-27, 27, 135),
cat.dist = c(0.055, 0.055, 0.085),
cat.fontfamily = "sans",
rotation = 1
)Application on rap Lyrics
Here is an example showing the number of shared words in the lyrics of 3 famous french singers: (Nekfeu, Booba) and Georges Brassens.
This example is extensively described in this dedicated post.
Note the use of both the col and fill options to make the circle border color different darker.
