That's the way I took it too.

Here's an example of what I often do:  I run simulations of something,
varying a parameter p.  I have my R code output the values of p and the
simulation output, one value of p per line.  By saving that in a file,
it easy to write code to produce a graph of the simulation output versus
p.
