Steamgraph Y axis frequencies #2

Closed pbstudent closed 1 year ago

pbstudent commented 3 years ago

Corpus Terms (https://voyant-tools.org/docs/#!/guide/corpusterms) explains relative frequencies. However, StreamGraph (https://voyant-tools.org/docs/#!/guide/streamgraph) does not explain how relative and raw frequencies are calculated. The only statement on Streamgraph frequencies is found in the server application - Streamgraph panel popup information that stated " relative frequencies are relative counts per document or segment. " Further information on meaning of frequencies would have been helpful in https://voyant-tools.org/docs/#!/guide/streamgraph .
