Yeah, I don't know how they are doing it, but nearly everyone (as far as
I know, eventually gets around to using Ghostscript). I do note that the
function graphics file output is usually a little larger than the
comparable Coyote Graphics output for the same "resolution". I still
don't know how to account for the difference:
