[reportlab-users] Color of grid lines

renderPM does antialiasing.  If your logical line does
not perfectly align with underlying pixels, it tends to
do two adjacent grey lines.

Imaging a line from (0,50) to (100,50) in logical space
in a 200x200 drawing.  It will try to half-shade row 49
and row 50 of the bitmap, since your line is running
directly between two rows of pixels.

If you draw from (0, 50.5) to (100,50.5) it will probably
draw a one-pixel black line.

So, if you did nothing special with translations or scaling,
you could put everything inside a group object which applies
a half pixel shift.
