What is the prefered method for programming graphics that are going to be
destine for 1) the screen, 2) Dot matrix printers 3) Postscript Printers
4) the Clipboard ?

It seems that creating a Metafile might be a good way, and set it to some
nonspecific scale so that on better resolution devices it would could be
scaled better.
In my case I have a graph I want on the screen which may be sent to the printer
or clipboard.  Would it be best to copy it to either as a bit map, or store
it originally as a metafile?  How do others do it?
Please echo responses via email.
