It actually amazes me how few people care about including bitmaps
graphics in their final meant-for-publication drafts. I wonder if I am
the only one that is annoyed when I am reading a PDF and see a bitmap
that should be a vector graphic.
I certainly care. Vector graphics should stay in vector form all the
way, if at all possible. It is good being able to zoom 400% into some
PDF detail and still have smooth detail everywhere.
Many people seem not to care because they have no idea how these things
works. Gnuplot makes a nice-looking plot that they can include in their
article - and get a nice-looking print/pdf. They may not know what
"vector graphichs" is, but they want good-looking output in all cases!
I think we should strive to not downconvert into bitmaps of dubious
resolution. Those that understand cares. And for the rest, we want LyX
to be the tool that "just works" and always makes good output that stand
up to magnification.
