This set of command produces a vector graphic, which should not suffer from resolution issues -- it may be more of a problem with the tool you are using to display it on screen. If you send figure.eps to a printer and it looks funny, then there is something wrong.

If you want a high res image with printim, there are options to control the size, something like this:
ga-> printim test.png x2048 y1536
