Probably a stupid question but I can't help it: if you
includegraphics them, why not draw them in a graphics program?
I do and save two copies, one in Intaglio for further/future editing
if necessary and one in cropped pdf for includegraphics. (Intaglio
remembers to place them in different folders.)
