Hi Gerdus,

I think I really need to clarify that FAQ answer somehow. The correct
code for drawing a single pixel, (assuming the default identity
transformation matrix), is:

	cairo_rectangle (cr, x, y, 1.0, 1.0);
	cairo_fill (cr);

with both x and y as integers.

Please let me know what text on that page might have caused the
misunderstanding so that I can fix it.

Thanks,

-Carl
