Change stroke adjustment

Belongs to

Allows you to enable or disable stroke adjustment.

Stroke adjustment takes care of the rendering of paths on a raster device (printing device, computer monitor, etc.).

If stroke adjustment is turned off, the device will draw the pixel only if it covers the path for more than 50%.

This means that a 1 pixel wide line can be drawn in different ways:

If the line is drawn nicely on top of a pixel of the screen, the line will look fine.
If the line is spread over 2 pixels of the screen, the width will be 2 pixels on some places and 1 pixel on other places, turning the line into an ugly, jaggy line.

If stroke adjustment is turned on, a correction will be made in such a way that the line looks nice and has the same width (1 pixel) everywhere.
