gt_mlb {mlbplotR}

Add MLB team logos into rows of a gt table

Description

The gt_fmt_mlb_logo, gt_fmt_mlb_scoreboard_logo, and gt_fmt_mlb_dot_logo functions take an existing gt_tbl object and converts MLB team names from valid_team_names() into team logos. This is a wrapper around gtExtras::gt_image_rows() written by Tom Mock, which is a wrapper around gt::text_transform() + gt::web_image()/ gt::local_image() with the necessary boilerplate already applied.

Usage

gt_fmt_mlb_logo(gt_object, columns, height = 30)

gt_fmt_mlb_scoreboard_logo(gt_object, columns, height = 30)

gt_fmt_mlb_dot_logo(gt_object, columns, height = 30)

Arguments

gt_object

An existing gt table object of class gt_tbl

columns

The columns wherein changes to cell data colors should occur.

height

The absolute height (px) of the image in the table cell

Value

An object of class gt_tbl.
