Idea: Merge Line and Scatter, and maybe Function about plotlib HOT 2 CLOSED

I personally like both of these ideas. Perhaps we can go a step further with the lines and allowing the Style struct both a MarkerStyle and LineStyle sub-structs. Fundemantally they both represent the same sort of thing. The MarkerStyle could include Circle, Square etc., and the LineStyle can include a hidden type i.e. no lines. That way the following options are available:

• lines but no points
• points but no lines
• points and lines

I also like the function idea.

I like your idea!
I wonder, if you have a scatter plot that's not just an y = f(x) function but arbitrary points, and you choose to draw lines between points, would it be best if we draw lines in the order that the points are given, or in the order of increasing x?
Actually in a project I'm working on now, the former might be convenient, because I would like to see the trajectory in (x,y).
