Research direction

Start by locating the grid rendering and pixel-placement entry points in the Zig editor; the issue does not name files or tests. Reproduce the mismatch with a 32x20 grid and compare where grid lines fall against placed pixels. Done means pixels align with the grid at that size; the report gives no specific test or expected implementation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Pixels are not in "sync" with grid.
I'd expect pixels to fall in place within a grid, since that makes it easier to allign the sprites.

When using a grid of 32x20 the grid is not alligned with where the pixels are placed. It looks to me like the grid is 2.5 pixels wide instead of a whole number.

Maybe this should have been opened on the Pixi repository but I found it odd that this pixel editor didn't come with the Pixel editing functionality. I had to track down this other repository (plugin) and build it myself (the plugin store does not find any compatible plugins on linux_x64).
