[cairo] Draw a single pixel or group of pixels

[Gerdus van Zyl]

Sorry for mudling the issue. After looking at my code again the reason I
used 1.5 width and height is because x,y can be non-integer to enable smooth
sub-pixel animation. The 1.5 enables a full pixel to be visible at all
times, otherwise pixels seem to flicker as they move.
