Rasterizing artifacts when rendering line with DrawLines

Description

When plotting a graph using DrawLines, if the curve crosses the same y coordinate multiple times, some unwanted horizontal lines are being rendered.

Steps to Reproduce

Here's code producing the issue displayed in the image below. Artifacts are particularly visible on the bottom right corner.

public static void DrawLinesTest()
{
    int width = 1000;
    int height = 500;
    using (var image = new Image<Rgba32>(width, height))
    {
        image.Mutate(imageContext =>
        {
            imageContext.BackgroundColor(Rgba32.White);
            int pointCount = 1234;
            var line = Enumerable.Range(0, pointCount).Select(x => x * width / (float)pointCount).Select(x => new PointF(x, (0.5f + (float)Math.Sin(x / 3) / 2) * height)).ToArray();
            imageContext.DrawLines(new Rgba32(255, 0, 0), 1, line);
        });

        using (var file = File.Create("DrawLinesTest.png"))
        {
            image.SaveAsPng(file);
        }
    }
}

System Configuration

ImageSharp version: 1.0.0-beta0002
Other ImageSharp packages and versions: Drawing version 1.0.0-beta0002
Environment (Operating system, version and so on): VS2017, Windows 10
.NET Framework version: .net Core 2.0 console application
Additional information: Saving the image as bmp didn't change anything

Same problem here, workaround is to disable antialiasing

@tocsoft

Might be related to (or actually the same issue as) SixLabors/ImageSharp#572 and SixLabors/Shapes/#42.

@tocsoft is my supposition right?

yeah, looks like its going to be the exact same root issues.

This is indeed a duplicate of SixLabors/ImageSharp#572.

I've verified it now works ok after the fix, see attached image.

Closing now as in nightlies

Shouldn't be fixed yet. SL.ImageSharp.Drawing is still referencing shapes 1.0.0-ci0018.

We still need a PR updating shapes.

I thought the PR was in no?

@JimBobSquarePants

@JimBobSquarePants only in SL.Shapes: SixLabors/Shapes#43

We need to update the reference to have these issues closed.

Fixed with SixLabors/ImageSharp#596 in beta4.

Any plans to put fix in a nuget package?

@jjxtra

@jjxtra It was back in May 2018.

https://www.nuget.org/packages/SixLabors.ImageSharp/1.0.0-beta0004

Are you still seeing issues with either beta6 or the latest nightly builds from MyGet?

Yes with beta 6. Rendering us state lines onto an image, I am seeing horizontal gray lines if anti alias is on.

Beta 6 / latest nuget:

Antialias On:

Antialias Off:

Code is fairly straightforward, geo-json file...

@jjxtra

@jjxtra Thanks for providing so much detail, much appreciated!

That looks like an issue to me so will reopen. In the interim could you please check again with the nightly code from MyGet and see if the issue persists there.

@jjxtra

@jjxtra No need to do the additional testing for now. Cause is here. https://github.com/SixLabors/Shapes/issues/44

We can use your information to formulate a fix.

Awesome, let me know if you need more info.

Sorry, wrong dll. The latest master branch as of 2019-08-21 still has the anti-alias line issue.
