Welcome to cbbplotR, an R package designed to bring the vibrant
world of college basketball into your data visualizations. This package,
an extension of nflplotR, is your go-to toolkit for incorporating
college basketball team and conference logos, player headshots, and team
colors into ggplot2 plots and gt tables. While cbbplotR is
best paired with the cbbdata
package, there is an extensive
internal name conversion function for teams and conferences that will
match some common sites. If you want to request adding specific name
conversions, please open an issue on the package’s
GitHub.
cbbplotR is an extension of the popular {sport}plotR family of
packages, including nflplotR, nbaplotR, mlbplotR, and cfbplotR.
This package was heavily adapted from nflplotR and ggpath from
developer Sebastian Carl.
To get started with cbbplotR, you can install it using the
pak package.
if (!require("pak")) install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("andreweatherman/cbbplotR")For information on usage and capabilities, please visit the ‘Getting Started’ vignette.
If you have feature recommendations or run into bugs, please open an issue on GitHub. You can also contact me directly on Twitter, but I would prefer the latter.

cbbdata – also developed and
maintained by me.
