Description

Has anybody played with convex hulls?
![Colorful convex hulls of clusters_labels of nodes shows corresponding cluster ID](https://github.com/MaartenGr/BERTopic/assets/691472/31c6b37a-e357-4f0d-af73-fe0c7a53830c)
There are actually quite a few more visual elements that a program like CiteSpace has for visualizing topics (of bibliometric datasets) that would IMO be great additions to BERTopic vizzes as well. For more inspiration, see [here](https://citespace.podia.com/gallery)
