B4J Code Snippet Remove Aliasing on Canvas horizontal and vertical lines

Hi all,

After many days searching on the web, finally I found a solution to my current problem.

javafx.scenes.canvas by default use antialiasing, this maybe is good on some cases, but if we draw Horizontal and Vertical lines we can see a pixel width of 2 pixels, not 1 pixel even if we use 1 as StrokeWidth for DrawLine method.

I've tried to decrease a StrokeWidth Double value to 0.5 - 0.3 - 0.1 but this not solved the problem, this just add a more light color, but the line width remain 2 pixels.

Now, starting from Java code and following this thread:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27846659/how-to-draw-an-1-pixel-line-using-javafx-canvas

after I converted this code to B4J, I figured that solved my problem and now I can view horizontal and vertical lines with real 1 pixel line width.

The solution is really simple, just add 0.5 pixels offset to any X and Y coordinates (when draw line).
It is important to pass a real Double (or maybe even Float) value in the DrawLine method.

It is possible to add a variant inside B4J Canvas class for next releases?
Maybe it can do an illusion that antialias is turned off, so just may add a method to turn on or off and, if turned off translate any coordinate by 0.5 pixels
Or may the real solution is another? I'm unable to find a way to disable antialias on entire canvas, but may there is a way, tried with JavaObject but just fails....

I hope this can help many users with same problem.

This is a simple demostration of code, I also attached a B4J zip project and an image.

Enjoy.
