nflplotR 1.1.0

CRAN release: 2022-08-11

• nflplotR will internally cache images used in all geoms and elements. The cache behavior can be controlled by setting options("nflplotR.cache") to one of "memory", "filesystem", or "off". It is possible to clear the cache with the new function .nflplotR_clear_cache(). This functionality added the dependencies cachem, memoise and rappdirs.
• Resolved an issue where geom_mean_lines() and geom_median_lines() didn’t draw lines when a scale transformation, e.g. scale_*_reverse(), was applied.
• Added new function nfl_team_factor() which creates ordered factors of NFL team names for facetted plots.

nflplotR 1.0.1

CRAN release: 2022-04-06

• Fixed some issues with theme-elements and updated examples.

• Improved nfl_team_tiers() by adding the opportunity to modify title, subtitle, caption of the plot. Added functionality to remove tier separation lines for combined tiers. Added functionality to run the function in “developer” mode which means, that team abbreviations will be plotted instead of logos (much faster). (v.0.0.9010)
• Added the geom_nfl_headshots() geom that plots headshots for valid gsis IDs. (v0.0.9011)

These elements feature a major speed improvement over the axis scales scale_x_nfl_headshots() and scale_y_nfl_headshots() and make the package less dependent on an underlying package. (v.0.0.0.9016)
