This is fine, but you might want to look into using LyX with Sweave. This way you inset your graph-creating code within ERT insets (thus keeping track of the code) and let Sweave and LyX worry about inserting the graphs into the final document. Should this be an issue, learning Sweave is easy; configuring it for LyX might be more difficult, though. I am not sure that thus you will avoid the issues that you had when copying the code from the Notes.
