Vertical pitch orientation

Every pitch-based plotting function (a delivery map, a zone heatmap, a second-phase sequence, an outcome shot map, routine clusters) takes vertical: bool = False – draws on mplsoccer.VerticalPitch (goal-at-top) instead of the default mplsoccer.Pitch (goal-at-right) when True. Nothing else about the call changes: both mplsoccer classes share the same drawing API, so the same delivery_locations/zone_counts/… output plugs into either one unchanged.

from pathlib import Path

from wa_setpieces import delivery_locations, load_matches
from wa_setpieces.viz.plots import plot_delivery_map, plot_zone_heatmap

try:
    _here = Path(__file__).resolve().parent
except NameError:
    _here = Path.cwd()
DATA = _here.parent / "tests" / "data" / "sample_match.json"

events = load_matches(DATA)
corners = delivery_locations(events, "corner")

Horizontal (the default):

fig, ax = plot_delivery_map(corners, title="Corner deliveries", subtitle="Horizontal (default)")

The same deliveries, vertical:

fig, ax = plot_delivery_map(corners, title="Corner deliveries", subtitle="Vertical", vertical=True)

Works the same way for a zone heatmap – the grid itself rotates with the pitch (a 6x3 grid horizontally becomes 3x6 vertically), not just the outline:

fig, ax = plot_zone_heatmap(
    corners, x_col="end_x", y_col="end_y",
    title="Corner delivery end zones", subtitle="Vertical", vertical=True,
)
