### Post-processing graphics in Adobe Illustrator

A while a ago Rich posted about chartsnthings, the blog written by Kevin Quealy of the New York Times graphics department. One thing that stood out to both Rich and myself was that a couple of the NYT folks do sketches in R and then post-process the sketches with Adobe Illustrator. A good example is Kevin's post on Mariano Rivera's career.

Today, on the R-help mailing list, Michael Friendly pointed to a tutorial on the practicals of how to, you know, actually do post-processing with Illustrator.
