This is true to an extent.  I have not checked on postscript or xfig,
but at least for PDF, even though you can "zoom"/blow the picture up,
you still have fundamentally the same layout.  The problem with this
is that your dots (or lines or whatever) blow up right along with
everything else.  So if two points were partially overlapping on an X
scale of 0-100, no matter how big you blow it up in PDF, they will
still over lap (overplotting will not be alleviated in other words).
