Unintentional image in ggplot lesson graph

[aurielfournier]

I taught the R-ecology lessons the past two days, and we got two pieces of feedback in our course evals that I want to pass along here.

Two students found the first graph made in the ggplot2 lesson, rather, phallic. I had not noticed that before, but, now I definitely see what they mean. Could we subset the portal dataset, or something to make that go away?

after consulting with a few other people about this, it seems that the easiest approach would be to transition soon to the "new" lesson (tidyverse first) which starts with visualization. This lesson uses a subset of the data at the beginning, and later when we revisit visualization after seeing dplyr, we can then make more complex graphs with only a subset of the data or using different colors for the species that don't make the pattern apparent.

Sounds great. Thanks!
