ggplot2 scales from a soccer team palette

Description

Colour and fill scales that take their colors from a soccer team, the ggplot2 counterpart of soccer.colors. scale_color_soccer is an alias for scale_colour_soccer.

Usage

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

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

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

Arguments

set	Character string naming a soccer team. See colorr.teams("soccer").
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 +.
