# textych
The goal of textych is to create interactive text parallels. This form of reference is useful for exploring similarities and differences betwixt passages.
## Installation
You can install the released version of textych from GitHub with:
``` r
remotes::install_github("daranzolin/textych")
```
## Simple Example
Split any text into words and assign a corresponding color and tooltip.
```r
library(textych)
library(tidytext)
library(dplyr)
df <- tibble(
text = c("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy grey dog",
"The catepiller ate through once nice green leaf"),
ind = c("A", "B")
) %>%
unnest_tokens(word, text, to_lower = FALSE) %>%
mutate(
color = case_when(
word == "brown" ~ "brown",
word == "grey" ~ "grey",
word == "green" ~ "green",
TRUE ~ "#333333"
),
tooltip = case_when(
word == "caterpillar" ~ "An insect",
word %in% c("fox", "dog") ~ "A cute mammal",
word == "leaf" ~ "Vegetation"
)
)
textych(df, text = word, text_index = ind, color = color, tooltip = tooltip)
```
## Complex Example: Greek Text Analysis
Arranging parallel texts with similar language and ideas is a common practice in textual analysis, and there is *very* expensive software that parses each word's form, tense, mood, gender, case, etc. This is a cheaper (and more customizable) alternative.
First, I load the packages, then [retrieve and parse the texts via rperseus.](https://github.com/ropensci/rperseus)
``` r
library(rperseus) # remotes::install_github("ropensci/rperseus")
library(glue)
texts <- bind_rows(
get_perseus_text("urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0031.tlg012.perseus-grc2", "1.4"),
get_perseus_text("urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0031.tlg013.perseus-grc2", "1.3"),
get_perseus_text("urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0031.tlg006.perseus-grc2", "8.39")
)
parsed_texts <- bind_rows(
parse_excerpt("urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0031.tlg012.perseus-grc2", "1.4"),
parse_excerpt("urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0031.tlg013.perseus-grc2", "1.3"),
parse_excerpt("urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0031.tlg006.perseus-grc2", "8.39")
)
```
Second, I want to (1) specify title labels; (2) color the word ἀγάπη ("love"); and (3) create a custom HTML tooltip parsing each word on hover.
``` r
tt_data <- texts %>%
transmute(
text,
passage = glue("{label} {section}")
) %>%
unnest_tokens(word, text) %>%
left_join(
distinct(parsed_texts, word, form, .keep_all = TRUE),
by = c("word" = "form")
) %>%
mutate(color = ifelse(grepl("ἀγάπη", word), "firebrick", "#333333")) %>%
mutate(tooltip = glue("
word
part
number
gender
case
{word.y}
{part_of_speech}
{number}
{gender}
{case}
")
)
```
Finally, I pass the data to `textych`, specifying the respective columns for each parallel, text color, and tooltip.
```r
textych(tt_data, word, passage, color, tooltip)
```
## Future work
* Highlighting words
* More easily customizable tooltips
* Additional styling
* Improved margins
