tikz “Latex” arrowhead artifact on conversion to png using ImageMagick if opacity < 1

This is a specific problem, but I find it comes up often in my workflows:
- generate a standalone
tikzdiagram with:
- some transparent object(s) - i.e.
opacity < 1
- arrows, where I prefer the large style:
> = Latexfrom the tikz libraryarrows.meta
- some transparent object(s) - i.e.
- run ImageMagick
convertto convert.pdfto.png
The problem is, Latex style arrowheads develop a weird inner border on conversion to .png.
MWE
mwe.tex:
documentclass[margin=0.1cm]{standalone}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[>=Latex,<->,opacity=1.00](0.0,-0.0)--(1.0,-0.0); % (1)
draw[>=Latex,<->,opacity=0.99](0.0,-0.2)--(1.0,-0.2); % (2)
draw[>=latex,<->,opacity=1.00](0.0,-0.4)--(1.0,-0.4); % (3)
draw[>=latex,<->,opacity=0.99](0.0,-0.6)--(1.0,-0.6); % (4)
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
compile & convert to png:
pdflatex mwe.tex && convert -density 600 mwe.pdf mwe.png
MWE result:
About the MWE:
- You can see the problem in arrows (1) and (2), currently
- Arrows (3) and (4) are not affected, since they have the smaller arrowheads:
> = latex
- Only commenting (2) and (4) (
opacity=0.99) solves the problem for (1) - i.e. removing all transparent objects from the image.
Questions:
- Why is this happening?
- Is this a
tikzproblem or an ImageMagick problem? - Any solutions besides avoiding transparency or using smaller arrowheads?
Thanks
