Thank you for generating new images.

Some of the new files are quite large, and the total added storage is 35 
Mbytes, which is a lot for binary image files stored in the repo. I haven't 
generated the docs and looked at them yet (doing that now), but it might be 
better to use lower resolution images.

One other thing I noticed is that the file names have spaces in them, which is 
not a best practice and causes problems for scripts. Can you change all spaces 
to `_` in the names of the newly-added files?
