+Changed snap threshold for circle markers to inf
+````````````````````````````````````````````````
+
+When drawing circle markers above some marker size (previously 6.0)
+the path used to generate the marker was snapped to pixel centers.  However,
+this ends up distorting the marker away from a circle.  By setting the
+snap threshold to inf snapping is never done on circles.
+
+This change broke several tests, but is an improvement.
