On Windows, all bitmap devices (bmp(), jpeg(), png(), tiff()) will give
better-looking (anti-aliased) pictures with type = "cairo" instead of
type = "windows".

On Linux, type = "cairo" also produces better-looking bitmaps than type
= "Xlib". On macOS, type = "cairo" and type = "quartz" should produce
bitmaps of similar (good) quality.
