Usage

soccer_penalty_box(
  feature_radius = 0,
  feature_thickness = 0,
  box_length = 0,
  penalty_mark_dist = 0,
  goal_width = 0,
  goal_post_to_box_edge = 0
)

Arguments

feature_radius	The radius of the circle at the top of the penalty box
feature_thickness	The thickness of the penalty box
box_length	The length of the penalty box (from the goal line)
penalty_mark_dist	The distance from the back edge of the goal line to the penalty mark
goal_width	The interior width of the goal
goal_post_to_box_edge	The distance from the interior of the goal post to the outer edge of the penalty box

Details

This draws a half-box, which will include the circular portion at the top of the box. All dimensions given should be to the outside of the features

The line thickness will be uniform for all features on the pitch

Value

A data frame containing the bounding coordinates of the penalty box
