Pere made a pass through the book, commenting on figures he and the copy editors thought could be improved. He created an Excel summary, that I've now annotated indicating whether they have been fixed, what problems I think can be ignored or too hard to fix in R code ("can't fix"), flagged some as "FIXME" etc.

The current worksheet is in ChapmanHall/FixArt_candidates.xlsx. My general feeling is that a lot of the graphs could be improved as suggested, but only by manually tweaking them, e.g., with Adobe Illustrator. When I wrote the SAS VCD book, I did use a postscript editor to tweak a number of figures to avoid label collisions and so forth, but I'm reluctant to do this here.

@mattsigal, @davidjohannesmeyer, @sciencegraph : Could you look through the book.pdf with this worksheet in hand and comment on any you disagree with or could still be improved.
