Enclosed are four examples illustrating what happens to 45° diagonal lines. As you can see, the results are the opposite from what happens to exactly vertical/horizontal lines, namely the lines at integer-plus-half coordinates are thicker and blurrier, while the ones at integer coordinates are the thinnest and sharpest. In other words, my recommendation to turn antialiasing off works under a wider range of conditions than the existing FAQ answer. -- cairo mailing list [email protected] https://lists.cairographics.org/mailman/listinfo/cairo
