Drawing pixel-aligned paths for web workflows

Pixel-aligned is an object level property, which enables an object to have its vertical and horizontal paths aligned to the

pixel grid. This property remains with the object when the object is modified. Any vertical or horizontal path in the

object gets aligned to pixel grid as long as the property is set for it.
