I'll see your chart and raise you a crazy ggplot2 graph!

Having the option for publication quality charts is a good idea, since realistically not everyone knows how to use other software. What about a checkbox that would enable resizing? Then by default the system would work as it does now, but if you click the box you'd get a resizable border on the plot and could drag it as you will.

If you want to graph information, wouldn't you be better off just writing the data you want to a file, and then using a "real" plotting system to make the graphs? (Like gnuplot, R with ggplot2, or matplotlib/matlab, etc)

Actually, the chart mechanism was specifically developed to make good looking charts! That's why it outputs PDF, provides dashing and width in addition to color, and has a white background. Behold:

So again, I'm cool with changing the default behavior perhaps, but I need to know what you want the default behavior to be *exactly*.
