Mismatch in the various figures for addition of vectors

[julianharty]

Describe the bug This is a visual bug where there's a disagreement between the first three images showing vector addition versus the final one (where the end of the vector has y=1)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: visit: https://www.3blue1brown.com/lessons/vectors

For me, the most obvious mismatch between the figures is between https://www.3blue1brown.com/content/lessons/2016/vectors/walk_path.svg (which shows the end of the vector is closer to y=1.3 than y=1 and https://www.3blue1brown.com/content/lessons/2016/vectors/vector_addition_numerical.svg which is more correct, the end point is roughly y=1.

Expected behavior I'd appreciate vector w being drawn consistently using the value of the vector shown in the last of the relevant figures, i.e. with a y=-1 rather than being drawn with y being closer to -0.3. Doing so would make the already wonderful material more congruent.

Screenshots Here's a screenshot showing the first two examples of the figures that have the reduced y value for vector w.

Hi Julian,

Thank you for pointing out this small mismatch. The vectors should match exactly when the whole linear algebra series is finished and merged into the main branch. For now, you can preview the incoming changes here:
