I made some graphs in Origin and I need to export them. However, when I do, the traces look terrible because they are not anti-aliased (although the text and other parts are fine). Here's a fragment of a graph (300 dpi, no resizing):
The "steps" are 1 pixel in size. However, even if I export as EPS, it still exports a line made up of a series of horizontal & vertical segments. Here's the same fragment of a graph after I opened it in a vector program and zoomed in:
The dark blue line is the data and the smoothed corners are added by the vector program.
Is there anything I can do so that this doesn't look ridiculously pixelated, aside from exporting at 10+ times the size I want and resizing? Even if I do that, it doesn't look great, AND it's very slow and tedious to do that for every graph.
