When I generate multiple scatter plots with a large number of points and display them as output, the notebook becomes very sluggish (I assume that this is because each plot has a huge number of points and the system has trouble with the graphics memory or something similar).

I would like to know if it is possible to set things up in such a way that the displayed figures are some sort of png but not vector graphics.

To be clearer: I wish to automatically replace the standard plot output with something like its screenshot. This is just about what I see in the notebook and has nothing to do with the nature of the Graphics object.

I looked around but couldn't find how to do it or whether it is possible.

Thanks! Enrico
