rsvg render to cairo with no anti-aliasing

I am using rsvg python binding to handle an svg image and render it to
a cairo surface. When I render the svg image it seems that
anti-aliasing is applied, so the resulting image on the cairo surface
is anti-aliased, even when the cairo surface has anti-aliasing
disabled.

Could this anti-alising effect be cause by the
rsvg.Handle.render_cairo(cairo.Context) method I am using? if so is
there any way to disable the anti-aliasing effect?


Cheers

Benjamin
