Or you can generate eps output, and use ghostscript to generate bitmaps
from that, which offers more fine-tuned control over the output quality
(aliasing for use on web-pages, etc).

For use in articles, I don't think there are reasons these days to use
anything but eps, given that the latest versions of Office can read
them. (Of course TeX can, and for science that is the best option, but
I digress).
