I'm using ImageMagick (v. 6.5.7) to create an PNG from an SVG. I'm noticing that the path edges appear gray even though the path is created with a solid color. I figured this was due to anti-aliasing so I turned that off:

convert +antialias box.svg  box__noantialias.png

but I get the exact same result. Here is the result:

grainy edge box

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this? Unfortunately, I'm limited to using ImageMagick so I don't have another option.

Here is the SVG if anyone is curious:

<svg height="150" version="1.1" width="730" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" style="overflow: hidden; position: relative;">
<desc style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">Created with Rapha�l 2.1.0</desc>
<defs style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);"></defs>
<path fill="none" stroke="#ffff00" d="M146,46L148,46L149,46L151,47L152,47L154,47L155,47L156,47L156,47L157,47L158,47L158,47L159,47L160,47L161,47L162,46L162,46L163,46L164,46L164,46L165,46L166,46L167,46L168,46L168,46L169,46L170,46L171,46L172,46L172,46L173,46L174,46L174,45L175,45L176,45L178,45L178,45L179,45L180,45L181,45L182,45L184,45L186,45L187,45L189,45L192,45L193,45L194,45L196,45L198,45L200,46L202,46L203,46L205,46L208,46L210,46L210,46L211,46L212,46L214,46L214,46L215,46L216,46L218,46L220,46L221,46L222,46L224,46L226,46L228,46L229,47L231,47L234,47L236,47L236,47L238,48L243,49L244,49L246,49L246,49L248,49L248,49L249,49L249,50L249,53L249,55L250,59L250,61L250,64L250,68L250,71L250,75L250,77L250,81L250,85L250,86L250,91L250,91L250,97L250,99L250,101L250,104L251,105L251,106L251,109L251,109L252,111L252,112L252,113L252,114L253,117L253,118L253,119L254,121L254,123L254,125L254,127L254,127L254,128L254,129L254,130L255,131L255,131L254,131L254,131L248,131L242,131L236,131L230,131L224,131L222,131L219,131L214,131L210,131L205,131L202,131L198,131L198,131L196,131L194,131L192,131L187,132L184,132L181,133L178,133L176,133L172,133L169,133L164,133L161,133L158,133L156,133L153,133L150,133L148,133L145,133L144,133L143,133L142,133L142,133L142,133L142,130L142,127L141,122L141,118L140,109L139,105L138,101L138,99L137,97L136,93L136,91L136,87L136,85L136,83L136,81L136,80L136,77L136,75L136,74L136,72L136,71L137,69L137,68L137,67L137,66L137,65L137,63L137,62L137,61L137,61L138,59L138,57L138,57L138,55L138,54L138,53L139,53L140,51L140,50L140,49L140,49L140,49L140,48L140,47" stroke-opacity="1" stroke-width="8" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" transform="matrix(1,0,0,1,0,0)" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); stroke-opacity: 1; stroke-linecap: round; stroke-linejoin: round;"></path>

A few thoughts...

Your ImageMagick is old, it works fine with Version: ImageMagick 6.9.1-10, even without the +antialias.

I use the rsvg delegate rather than the svg one - I am not sure if that is making the difference.

If you can't upgrade for some reason, you can clean your image up with something like:
