Re: Subpixel Rounding Question
OK, I submitted a sample to #916. FYI -- I collapsed all code (user controls, etc) into a single XAML file. I changed the background to white so that the artifact is more apparent.
Re: Subpixel Rounding Question
I am reproducing the same issue in WPF, that line appears due to imprecision in GPU calculations when doing wrapping. Unfortunately there is no way to disable Tile in one dimension (we could add an extension here for Noesis). A workaround for now is adding a extra vertical white line in the texture. What do you think?
EDIT1: the imprecision is generated by using the Viewbox. I don't see the lines if I remove the Viewbox.

Re: Subpixel Rounding Question
More experiments. It seems that our PPAA (emulation of anti-aliasing algorithm) is also affecting. In the latest versions we added the option to selectively disable PPAA:
This way it works (without ViewBox). We need to properly document this noesis PPAAMode property.
By the way, there is also another bug in that XAML, you are using Stretch="None" but it should be Stretch="Fill" (that's the reason the original content does not display correctly in Blend), we are ignoring that in this case. I think we need to move this to a new ticket.

Re: Subpixel Rounding Question
I wouldn't be able to add a white line because the default background contains alpha and it overlays 3D Unity content. I could add a semi-transparent line and then offset by margin as a work-around. I disable PPAA by default (having discovered this as a fix). But I can't get around not using a viewbox since target hardware resolution can and does change.
Re: Subpixel Rounding Question
Adding to my previous comment -- if I add a semi-transparent line, I likely need to do that for all boundaries of all repeating sprites that require pixel sharp boundaries. But then I wonder if the leftmost pixel will be blended with the rightmost neighbor? i.e. aliasing at pixel (0,0) is possibly affected by pixels at coordinate (N,0).
Re: Subpixel Rounding Question
Yes, that's possible. If you use ViewBox, the imprecision can make the pixels to wrap around in both directions. This is not an issue in Noesis, it also happens in WPF. The ideal solution would be just disabling wrapping in the desired Axis but that's not possible in WPF:
I wonder if we could detect that wrapping is not happening in one of the axis and then disable wrapping in hardware.

Re: Subpixel Rounding Question
Could you please report this in a different ticket? This is a different thing from #916 Thanks!
