🏈LinesShines v0.0.0
Prototype means root, which is also memories.
Thus, this release talks about branch v0.0-beginning, a snapshot of the initial plot making workflow.
Past — Only Local Plots.
Dating back to 2024, after seasons of following NFL, I began to feel curious about linemen, especially in pass rush & pass protection.
To make player evaluation easier, I knew I needed visuals.
So I set up this repo to store code that created them.
I relied on three tools:
-Seaborn — scatter plots, with team logos as player markers.
-Matplotlib — annotations to place player names next to each logo.
-adjustText — a lifesaver for minimizing label overlap.
Sudden Idea After Years
One day, when I looked into all these plots I've made all the way, I just grew a mind for myself:
"How about doing more than this? Really starting to feel like a new era. How wonderful it would be should we have interactions powering plots......"
And now, this v0.0.0 release is here to be, well, a prologue that later unveils 👌
