Description

Currently utm provides two scaling modes: linear and nearest neighbour

Although these work well enough (especially nearest neighbour), it's still very possible to see scaling artefacts. For this reason, I would really like an option to have an integer scale, so that when working with oses that do not support hidpi, you can still see well without any artefacts.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current scaling implementations (linear and nearest neighbour) in UTM's source code, identify the rendering pipeline, and implement an integer scaling mode that ensures pixel perfect scaling without artifacts.
