Curious cross-hatching on scatter plots

I have a dataset of 10K points. Each column has values [0-100]. I plot them in pairs using a scatter plot.

In each plot I get this curious cross hatching of the individual points. Is some sort of rendering issue? Has anyone else seen this?

This turned out to be a rendering issue. I was rendering using a raster format (PNG). When I used a vector format (SVG), the problem went away, i.e., there’s no weird rhythmic cross hatching in the plot.
