Thanks to suggestions from several folks, my colleague did the following
to eliminate the apparent anti-aliasing of his plots:
"...I am using os x. Did the plotting at 200, reset to 100, and then
exported to QuickTime and dragged onto Keynote. It worked well. The
graph is significantly less jagged when viewing the QuickTime movies
side by side on the screen. Thanks ... to the poster for this useful
idea. Plan to use it again."
