It is a nasty hack. But it is also the only way we have found so far
to achieve the desired visuals using the (rather limited) HTML5 stack.
* <canvas> is limited in size to 32768 pixels, while graphs
sometimes approach one million pixels.
* PNG and SVN are unable to change dynamically in response to
browser window resize events.

The varying thicknesses and offset arrowheads seem to be due to your
use of zooming. I think if you "zoom" to 100%, the undesirable
artifacts will disappear. The same effect might well result from
trying to draw those features using PNG, <canvas>, or SVG, depending
on how the web browser handles zooming.
