Description

Summary:

Like how wiki has https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gumbel_distribution it may be nice to have a picture for each distribution with different parameters in the function docs

Additional Information:

Since most of (all?) of the docs are in .Rmd I think this would just be calling the _rng for each distribution and making a pretty plot of the distribution with different params

Current Version:

v2.18.0

Research direction

Start by locating the distribution function documentation in the .Rmd files and review how each distribution's _rng function is documented. Add plots showing each distribution with different parameters, then verify that the manual renders and that every distribution has an appropriate image.
