textplot_bitermclusters showing unique terms

[BenoitFayolle]

Thanks for the package (and BTM), really helpful. I'm getting interesting and useful results.

I notice terms are deduplicated for the biterm clusters graph, hence a term can only appear once in the graph. Is it a feature or just a limitation due to igraph requiring unique vertices names?

I know my topics have words in common and I'd like to see them on the graph if that makes sense?

It was a way on trying to remove clutter from the plot making the plot more crisp as otherwise overlapping clusters is difficult to implement in ggraph. It was a deliberate choice but of course not completely respecting that in a BTM model, one word can be emitted by several topics

Makes sense. I'll edit the code locally and see if my plots get too cluttered as well.

Thanks
