`filename`	Character string of text name, with associated Char.csv and .txt files.
`segment.length`	Numeric (Default = 1000). Sets length of each segment in # of words.
`include.all`	Logical vector or numerical range. If TRUE (default), processes whole text. If range (i.e. 1:18), processes only those chapters. If FALSE, will offer a prompt to determine a range.
`local`	Logical. If FALSE (default), looks in Google Drive for files. If TRUE, looks for filename in a folder with path data/filename/.
`characters`	Character vector. NA, or 1 or more uniqnames of characters in assocated Char.csv file. Specified characters are highlighted in plot.
`legend.position`	Character location (i.e. "bottomleft" default). Sets location of legend for spotlighted characters.
`bg.col`	Color (default = "white"). Sets background color.
`edge.col`	Color (default = "gray80"). Sets edge color.
`char.only`	Logical (default = FALSE). If TRUE, only highlighted characters (specified in "character" argument) are plotted.
`set.voice`	NA, or character string. If NA, Char.csv pulls voice from associated *Char.csv file. If "third", will ignore first-person pronouns. If "first", will attempt to transform all non-dialogue "I" and "me" into narrator, signaled on Char.csv file as "TextEgo".
