The plot inside vscode are blurred / fuzzy. If I take the [documentation example](https://www.julia-vscode.org/docs/stable/userguide/plotgallery/):

```julia
using Plots
x = 1:10;
y = rand(10); # These are the plotting data 
plot(x, y, label = "my label")

```

I get the following print screen:

You can see that the numbers are blurred and the lines are fuzzy. Why I do not have the same quality of image as in the documentation ?

The versions:

- Julia `v1.6.4`
- vscode `v1.62.3`
- julia-vscode `v1.5.6`
- Plots `v1.23.6`

Hm, weird. Looks like the Plots/GR output isn’t using the right pixel density or something.

Try `display("image/svg+xml", plot(x, y, label = "my label"))` until someone figures out why this happens (or the Julia extension goes back to displaying plots as svg by default).

Thank you for the workaround, it is a bit annoying but it works.

I am having the same issue. When I plot with plotly or plotlyjs the graphs look normal. But when I plot with gr or pyplot the graphs look blurred on vs code. By the way, graphs are normal except for vs code.
