R plot type inconsistent with Python plots #670

Closed chendaniely closed 9 years ago

chendaniely commented 9 years ago

the plots in 03-loops-R use a scatter plot, whereas the python material use line plots.

Seems both just use the default plot function and the library automatically picks the 'best' one but the results are inconsistent with one another.

Don't want to be picky, but I read somewhere that a goal is to make the R material consistent with the Python material.

The goal is for them to be similar in educational content. Thus the goal here is "Be able to make a simple plot." I don't think that the fact that the default Python function plots lines and the default R function plots points detracts from this goal.

If you'd like to help with this particular effort, the most useful thing you could do is review PR #639.

I agree
