Wordcloud titles not showing/rendering in R

Question

So I performed a sentiment analysis using tidy principles. I would like to plot the results in a comparison cloud (positive VS negative sentiments).

This is my code:

library(reshape2)
library(tidytext)

dtm_tidy %>%
filter()
dtm_tidy %>%
inner_join(get_sentiments("bing"),by=c(term="word")) %>%
count(term, sentiment, sort=TRUE) %>%
acast(term ~ sentiment, value.var = "n", fill = 0) %>%
comparison.cloud(colors = c("darkred", "darkgreen"), max.words=300, scale = c(0.3, 0.3), random.order=FALSE, rot.per=0.25, title.size = 1)

However, something seems to go wrong, because the titles (positive & negative) are not shown or rendered. I already changed scales and title.size but nothing could solve this issue.

Anybody an idea?

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, and it's difficult to help without any sample data and a [reproducible minimal example](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example). The lines `dtm_tidy %>% filter()` seem superfluous, as you're not filtering anything. — Maurits Evers, Mar 19 '18 at 11:54
Oh of course, I forgot to delete the lines `dtm_tidy %>% filter()`sorry! — Lucinho91, Mar 19 '18 at 13:07

I had a similar problem -- the titles were being cutoff on the top and the bottom of the rendered plot when I tried to save it as a pdf.

I was able to get the correct plot output by using "Portrait" orientation instead of "Landscape." I'm not sure why that fixed the issue but it did when saving it as a pdf or an image.

I found the answer to my problem: if this issue occurs to you, use the fixed.asp=TRUEcommand. Something like this:

comparison.cloud(colors = c("darkred", "darkgreen"), max.words=300, scale = c(0.3, 0.3), random.order=FALSE, rot.per=0.25,fixed.asp=TRUE,title.size = 1)

This should do the trick! :)
