Matthew, Put the graphics code in a closed cell. To do this select the bracket of the cell and then use Alt C R C, which is the same as the menu item Menu\Cell\Cell Properties\Cell Open. Now only a thin empty cell remains in the notebook. The cell can still be selected and evaluated to obtain the graphic output. You may have to instruct or remind the reader to take notice of and evaluate the cells. A closed cell is not the same as a closed group. You can't open and close it by double-clicking the bracket but must use the control keys above. This is a nice way to put graphics in a notebook while hiding all of the code that produces the graphic. And nice graphics often take extended code once you put in all the options and touch-ups. All the more reason to hide it.
