Please post here if you are having technical issues with any of the tools.

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious here, but has anyone found a way to distinguish between the multiple meanings/uses of a given word in Voyant once the initial frequency analysis has been completed? It would be very useful to be able to separate the instances in which "like" is used to signal similarity and instances from those in which it is used to indicate fondness or approval - because not being able to do so misrepresents the text somewhat, and because the lack of precision represents a missed opportunity to find out more interesting things about how different characters or situations are portrayed.

I am trying to get rawgraphs to recognize the roman ampitheatres csv without success. It does not seem to have a problem with the women graduates csv. Any ideas what the problem is? I've tried all three methods of uploading (pasting the entire file; drop-and-dragging from my computer; entering the URL)

I have the same problem!

Hi both, Yes, I've just tried myself and there does seem to be an issue! Although this worked for me just copying and pasting when I tried it previously, RAWGraphs does now seem to be having trouble parsing the data directly. One workaround that I found has worked though is I saved the data as a csv file, then opened the csv on my computer (using Excel or Numbers, etc.) and then copy and pasted all of the data from the spreadsheet to RAWGraphs, which then seemed to be able to parse the data correctly. A bit longwinded but hope that works for you both! I'll paste this info into your group discussion too Naomi

That seems to work just fine. Strange! Thanks for your help!!

Hi All—no technical issue, but I found that I could not adjust the x-axis not to start at 0, so all the years arrived are packed to the right. Any help?
