(The mouse cursor thinks it is already outside of the plot one pixel
early on the right and the lower border. Mouse positions are correct.
The crosshair of the wxt terminal is thinner, easier to see it there.)

I'm not sure you're doing this in a way it can work unambiguously: If
the borders of the pixels in your plot are at integer positions, i.e.
one pixel ranges from 149.0 to 150.0, next from 150.0 to 151.0, where
should a line plotted at y=150.0 appear, without antialiasing? It's
50:50, i think.

However it looks like there is indeed a slight inconsistency with the
windows terminal. With the wxt terminal, a size of 300x300 makes a
straight diagonal without jitter.
