However, I looked at the individual color channels of the image and noticed that the blue channel is completely empty except for some outline around the lines. This outline "reaches into" the upper part of the image. I guess this is what you are talking about. I don't really know what causes this. As others in the thread wrote, this might be some inaccuracies somewhere in the code. However, to me it seems more like the lines were drawn against a transparent background with antialiasing. The result would look good against a transparent background, but not when later drawn against a background of the same color. But this is just a guess. If my guess is correct, perhaps you can somehow re-arranges things to draw these lines directly against their later background. Another alternative would be to use "poor man's antialiasing": Draw in a higher resolution without antialiasing and scale down later. If you happen to have a self-contained C program that reproduces this problem, I might be able to dig deeper. However, I am not sure how helpful the result be to you in the near future.
