I it possible to generate genuine vector graphics this way (that is, going through the clipboard)? Or are the results invariably pixelated? I just tried to export a graph to PDF, by copying to clipboard and then pasting into inkscape - when blown up, the results are definitely pixelated (which they would not be with "genuine" PDF). So, is it fair to say that the copy-to-clipboard tactic gets me exactly the graph I see - as a pixmap -, but that if I want vector graphics, the classic set t pdfcairo, etc strategy is the way to go? |
