[Paraview] Changing the "solid color" to white for screenshots and exporting

[Cory Quammen]

Hi Ryan,

When you zoom in on your grid in the black and white image, do the thick
lines change to two thinner lines? What I think is going on is that your
grid lines are so close together that some of them have a zero-pixel gap
between them, making them appear thicker.

Thanks,
Cory
