The output image is 129x129, but it's pixelated, like it was rendered at
64x64 and then scaled at 2x.

I want to simulate what will happen when saving my shapes to an image and
then zooming in, like the pixelated output of Illustrator, or the look of
an old videogame. So what I want is JFX to always render at the same
resolution internally, and then scale that when showing it to the screen
