The .active flag marks whether the sub-pixel has been rendered already.
For the sake of anti-aliasing, adjacent pixels overlap by one sub-pixel;
these overlapping pixels are computed at most once (maybe not at all, if
neither of the pixels needs anti-aliasing), and copied over for the next
pixel if already computed. As there is nothing to copy /from/ in the
very first row of pixels and the very first column of pixels, their
respective topmost / leftmost sub-pixels need to be explicitly
initialized to "not rendered yet" rather than copied.
The copying of the overlapping columns of sub-pixels happens at the end
of each iteration, hence the carried-over sub-pixels are expected to
already be in the first column (of sub-pixels of that pixel) at the
start of each iteration; the copying of overlapping sub-pixel rows, on
the other hand, is done at the start of iteration, so those sub-pixels
are expected to still be in the last row (of sub-pixels of the previous
pixel row) at the start of each iteration.
