scatter plot dot size misleading #106

Description

@mkborregaard

Thanks for an awesome resource, which I use for teaching a BSc level R course.

In this example: https://r-graph-gallery.com/5-correlation-of-discrete-variables.html the first plot illustrates magnitude of a number by multiplying it by cex. However, the cex parameter appears to control the radius of the circle, meaning that the area will be proportional with the number ^2. I'd argue this misrepresents the actual magnitudes.
