Does anybody know how to plot emojis in matplotlib while using windows? I've been struggling to find a solution as most out there seem to be specific for macOS.
Below is my current graph showing emojis plotted in a vector space, but as usual most do not show up.
Is there perhaps any fonts already installed with matplotlib that provide emoji support or will I need to install some backend solutions?
Code:
def display_pca_scatterplot(model, words=None, sample=0):
if words == None:
if sample > 0:
words = np.random.choice(list(model.vocab.keys()), sample)
else:
words = [ word for word in model.vocab ]
prop = FontProperties(fname='/usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/Apple Color Emoji.ttc')
word_vectors = np.array([model[w] for w in words])
twodim = PCA().fit_transform(word_vectors)[:,:2]
sb.set_style("darkgrid")
plt.figure(figsize=(10,10))
plt.scatter(twodim[:,0], twodim[:,1]) #, edgecolors='w', color='w')
for word, (x,y) in zip(words, twodim):
plt.text(x+0.0, y+0.0, word, fontsize=20) #fontproperties=prop)
