Does anyone know if there is a way to disable anti-aliasing when creating a report as an png image? I need to display the created image on an e-paper display and anti aliasing impairs the readability on this display.

Almost certainly not, but maybe you could export to PDF and then use an external PDF -\> PNG renderer that allows you to disable AA?

Thank you! In Linux, the builtin PdfToCairo tool does the job.
