This is supposed to draw a heightmap to the screen using isometric 3D (has not yet been optimized).

It works almost perfectly, but the lines are uneven:



Anyone spot the problem? According to some stuff I read online, the angle I used is supposed to make pretty lines.

Maybe use floor() instead of round()

I replaced all the round() calls with floor(), but it still looks funky.

If it helps I used your code exactly and got the following grid. It appears correct to me (unless I'm missing something).

Could just be that you're looking at too low granularity. With higher resolution it might be fine. I always use a straight int cast for stuff like this (basically equivalent of floor).

Maybe turn own the OpenGL pipeline

-Dsun.java2d.opengl=false

Yup Riven is spot on, I turned on the OpenGL pipeline and the lines match yours.
