I am setting line width because as you can see on the joined pictures,
when I zoom in, the lines width have to graw. (The line width is
integer) I also tried with antialiasing disable 'cairo_set_antialias(cr,
CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_NONE);' But the performances are almost similar. 
Nevertheless, I'm going to capture the data to make possible the replay
of the drawing so you can see that more concretely.
