ggplot2 scales from an EPL team palette

Description

Colour and fill scales that take their colors from an EPL team, the ggplot2 counterpart of epl.colors. scale_color_epl is an alias for scale_colour_epl.

Usage

scale_colour_epl(set, discrete = TRUE, reverse = FALSE, legacy = FALSE, ...)

scale_color_epl(set, discrete = TRUE, reverse = FALSE, legacy = FALSE, ...)

scale_fill_epl(set, discrete = TRUE, reverse = FALSE, legacy = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

set	Character string naming an EPL team. See colorr.teams("epl").
discrete	Logical. TRUE (the default) builds a discrete scale; FALSE builds a continuous gradient through the team's colors.
reverse	Logical. If TRUE, reverse the color order.
legacy	Logical. If TRUE, use the palette that shipped with colorr 1.0.1.
...	Passed on to discrete_scale when discrete is TRUE, otherwise to scale_fill_gradientn or scale_colour_gradientn.

Value

A ggplot2 scale, to be added to a plot with +.
