Postscript Plotting

As a new subscriber, let me convey thanks for a great magazine. But as many of
your letters seem to contribute information, I seek it. When I write my own plot
graphs, I approximate curves the quick and dirty way, with short segments of straight
lines. The line itself is drawn at 300 dots/inch on the LaserWriter, but (alas!) the
locations of the ends of the line are in pixel coordinates, which means that there are
steps, and a resolution of only the nearest 1/72 of an inch in the location of the line.
What can I do?
