xs2eps gives inacceptable results in Scilab 5.1.1

[Matthias Blau]

Dear list,

in Scilab 5.1.1, xs2eps creates eps files where curves are rendered in 
an (IMO) inacceptable "jaggy" manner. This is extremely annoying as it 
gives the impression of more noise than actually present in the data. In 
this regard, Scilab 4.1.2 gave much better results.

As an example, I attach 2 screenshots of diagrams I made with Scilab 
4.1.2 and 5.1.1. (identical code, except for the legend where the handle 
structure has changed). Besides the jaggy curcves, you will also notice 
that axis and grid lines are thicker in the 5.1.1. version which I also 
dislike.

I hope this problem can be fixed soon, as publishing diagrams is a key 
feature of any scientific software. I won't convince any of my students 
to use Scilab if the results of their work look the way they do right now.

Thanks for any help,
Matthias
