How could the content be improved?
Noted during UW-Madison workshop.
Discussion from workshop debrief:
- perhaps code just needs a second dev off?
- Alternatively could stop the plot from showing and then they don't look at it in RStudio but open it from the file pane or the file system
- Maybe not how folks use R typically, they are usually looking at the plot in RStudio
- Alternatively, could use it as a teaching moment for not saving with the plot window - have the code originally just show plot and not save it and then teach importance of writing this in your code instead of clicking to save from plot window. - then could either update to only save the plot or save and show the plot (maybe with a 2nd dev off)
- For me, the appropriate use of the viewer pane is when you're building plots iteratively; if you're doing 30 tweaks by viewing and then changing, the opening/closing gets old. But anytime I'm "done" with a plot, or if I'm printing a bunch of plots, I would save it out. Maybe the good use-cases for each method could be discussed.
