A word of advice with regards to your hesitation to redo the graphs. Almost
always you will need to do so anyway when reviews come back. Either because
one of the reviewers wanted a change in the graph, or some other fault in
the process was discovered and needed to be corrected (and so new graphs
have to be made anyway). Also, you may be asked to produce the data for
others to use some time in the future. One thing I try to do with my
projects is to separate the graph production from the data processing. I
would have the data processing save the relevant data, and then have
separate scripts that would generate graphs from that data.  For bonus
points, I usually tie everything together with Makefiles so that I don't
have to remember the exact set of commands I used when the reviewer
comments come back 6 months later.
