ggplot2 scales from an NBA team palette

Description

Colour and fill scales that take their colors from an NBA team, the ggplot2 counterpart of nba.colors. scale_color_nba is an alias for scale_colour_nba.

Usage

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

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

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

Arguments

set	Character string naming an NBA team. See colorr.teams("nba").
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 +.
