What should textplot_network() do with asymmetric fcm? #4

Open koheiw opened 5 years ago

koheiw commented 5 years ago

In relation to quanteda/quanteda#1461, we haven't defined how to deal with an asymmetric fcm. Probably, the lower triangle is ignored in the conversion:

This will probably not arise often, because few users will set ordered = TRUE if they are looking to produce network plots. However if they do, I think a warning is appropriate.
