Episode 6 is currently titled "Creating Publication-Quality Graphics". The original episode that this was copied from went into a lot more detail and actually did end with the learners creating publication quality graphics. However, we've cut this episode down a lot and the graphics the learners make are not anywhere near publication quality. This isn't a problem - we have an episode in the raster vector lesson (https://datacarpentry.org/r-raster-vector-geospatial/13-plot-time-series-rasters-in-r/index.html) that goes into a lot of detail and makes a really nice publication-quality graphic. However, it does mean that we should change some things in this episode to update it to the current content:

The raster vector lesson uses the following geoms (other than geom_raster and geom_sf):

These geoms appear in that lesson in the order listed above. Since geom_line and geom_point show up so late in that lesson, it seems to make more sense to have the examples in this introductory episode use geom_histrogram and/or geom_bar. I will work on a PR with some suggested examples.

Seems like #52 fixes this. Since it's merged in I'm gonna close it
