Generate a ggplot2 instance containing a baseball field for a specified league

Usage

geom_baseball(
  league,
  display_range = "full",
  field_updates = list(),
  color_updates = list(),
  rotation = 0,
  x_trans = 0,
  y_trans = 0,
  field_units = NULL,
  xlims = NULL,
  ylims = NULL
)

Arguments

league

The league for which to draw the surface. This is case-insensitive

display_range

A case-insensitive string indicating the display range to use for the plot. The default is "full", which will be returned when either an invalid or no value is passed to the function.

The possible display ranges are:

"full": The full field. This is the default
"infield": The infield on the baseball field

field_updates

A list of updates to the field's parameters. These will overwrite the parameters of the league

color_updates

A list of updates to the field's default colors, which are set by baseball_features_set_colors()

rotation

An angle, given in degrees, through which the plot should be rotated

x_trans

The amount that the x coordinates are to be shifted. By convention, the +x axis extends from the back tip of home plate towards the left-handed batter's box (the first base side of the field)

y_trans

The amount that the y coordinates are to be shifted. By convention, the +y axis extends from the back tip of home plate towards straight-away center field

field_units

The units with which to draw the field. The default is NULL, which will apply the rule-book specified units

xlims

The limits on the final display in the x direction. The default is NULL, which will utilize the xlims specified by the display_range parameter

ylims

The limits on the final display in the y direction. The default is NULL, which will utilize the ylims specified by the display_range parameter

Value

A ggplot2 instance with a full-surface representation of a baseball field

Examples

if (FALSE) {
  geom_baseball(league = "MLB", rotation = 270, display_range = "infield")
  geom_baseball(league = "little league", field_units = "m")
}
