Nic Crane updated ARROW-13886:
------------------------------
Description:
Two main things we could update here:
# The general description of what the decimal type is and is for and/or a link
to the C++ docs - in the details section, add some explanation of what an Arrow
{{decimal()}} type is and why it is automatically mapped to an R {{double}} type
# Documentation of the params precision and scale. We could add a bit more
information to explain what that actually means to the user, as it's not
immediately obvious.
was:
Currently in the docs for {{decimal()}}, the documentation of the arguments
reads:
{{precision For decimal(), precision}}
{{scale For decimal(), scale}}
We should add a bit more information to explain what that actually means to the
user, as it's not immediately obvious.
