Thanks Paul, that solved the problem. matplotlib.rcParams['axes.linewidth'] = 0.5 matplotlib.rcParams['patch.linewidth'] = 0.5
is what I wanted and I'll put that in matplotlibrc. Previously I thought that this is related to some anti-aliasing setting that would affect all lines drawn. But as it is possible to set this preference to custom plot elements, this is what I would always prefer. Default setting looks too blurry for horizontal and vertical lines.
