View source: R/wordcount.R

The function takes a text file or text string and outputs a barplot of the most frequently occuring words.

1	wordcount(file = "", n, decreasing = TRUE, text)

`file`	A text file whose location is interpreted relative to the current working directory (given by `getwd`). Can be left blank, in which case the text must be inputted as the argument `text`.
`n`	The number of words to show in the `barplot`. Should be an integer greater than 0 and less than the number of unique words in the text. For example, if `n`=5, then the `barplot` will show the 5 most frequently occuring words.
`decreasing`	If `TRUE` (the default), the words in the `barplot` will show from most frequent on the left to least frequent on the right. If `FALSE`, the most frequently occuring word will be on the right hand side of the `barplot`.
`text`	If you wish to enter text as an inline argument rather than as a file on your computer, you can enter your text as this argument and leave `file` blank.
