We're not going to make any major changes in the 7.4 documentation anyway
at this point, so you don't have to feel rushed.  I don't mind including
graphics, but there needs to be a maintenance path.  SVG might be
something to try.  You could even create a simpler catalog description
file in an ad-hoc XML format and then create the SVG automatically.

By the way, when done well, pictures like the catalog layout, the backend
flow chart, or a graphical representation of a query plan also make nice
posters.
