Either create the graphs with very large width and height (usually
corresponding to 600dpi); scaling may be tricky if you use this way,
check the pointsize parameter.
Or, my preferred way: create pdf, and use Ghostview to make the
conversion. There is nice utility called GhostFriend that helps
in getting the horrible parameters right and processing whole
directories.
