How do you do "one pixel wide" when there are so many devices, viewports, LCD/LED types, zoom sizes for accessibility, etc.? It's all virtualized these days, no? A single pixel on something like a watch or 4k 27" display might not even be visible to the average person...

With UIKit you can query the device, it’s subpixel structure, and the alignment of your abstract window on the device and work it out from there.

Mostly, it’s possible there is an abstracted display at a non-native resolution over something like an HDMI. But if you are running your display at a non-native resolution then you just don’t care about details and you deserve what you get.
