If I weren’t crazy, I’d be insane! (Joker)

I present today a dynamical D3.js plot where I combine three things:

• The Batman curve
• A text mining analysis to obtain most common words from the Batman’s page at Wikipedia
• A line plot using morris.js library of rCharts package where point labels are the words obtained in the previous step

This is my particular homage to one of the most amazing superheros ever, together with Daredevil:

The code:

require(ggplot2)
require(dplyr)
require(rCharts)
library(rvest)
library(tm)
f1u <- function(x) {ifelse ((abs(x) >  3 & abs(x) <= 7), 3*sqrt(1-(x/7)^2), 0)}
f1d <- function(x) {ifelse ((abs(x) >= 4 & abs(x) <= 7), -3*sqrt(1-(x/7)^2), 0)}
f2u <- function(x) {ifelse ((abs(x) > 0.50 & abs(x) < 0.75),  3*abs(x)+0.75, 0)}
f2d <- function(x) {ifelse ((abs(x) > -4 & abs(x) < 4), abs(x/2)-(3*sqrt(33)-7)*x^2/112-3 + sqrt(1-(abs(abs(x)-2)-1)^2), 0)}
f3u <- function(x) {ifelse ((x > -0.5 & x < 0.5), 2.25, 0)}
f4u <- function(x) {ifelse ((abs(x) >  1 & abs(x) <= 3), 6 * sqrt(10)/7 + (1.5 - 0.5 * abs(x)) * sqrt(abs(abs(x)-1)/(abs(x)-1)) - 6 * sqrt(10) * sqrt(4-(abs(x)-1)^2)/14, 0)}
f5u <- function(x) {ifelse ((abs(x) >= 0.75 & abs(x) <= 1), 9-8*abs(x), 0)}
fu <- function (x) f1u(x)+f2u(x)+f3u(x)+f4u(x)+f5u(x)
