Thanks for your help, guys.  I'm looking to produce a high-quality plot (no
jagged lines or other distortions) with a filetype that is accepted by
Microsoft Word on a PC and that most journals will accept.  That's why I'd
prefer to stick with JPEG, TIFF, PNG, or the like.  I'm not sure EPS would
fly.

One simple approach, which I use when I have to create graphics for MS Office 
while on a non-Windows platform is to use PNG and set the resolution and file 
size large enough.  At 300dpi or so the physics of ink on paper does all the 
antialiasing you need.

Work out how big you want the graph to be, and use PNG with enough pixels to 
get at least 300dpi at that final size. You'll need to set the pointsize 
argument and it will help to set the resolution argument.
