Doh, I forgot to add it to the commit. You are right. The force vector flag isn't necessary but the remaining ones are.

@nyalldawson , thinking about this some more, I'm wondering whether we should have the drawSelection flag on. It'd behave like 2.x's save as image, and it can be useful when someone wants to do a "quick and dirty" visual highlight.

Agreed. But not the editing markers. And antialiasing should respect the canvas setting for antialiasing too.

@nyalldawson , we could consider removing non-antialiasing altogether for QGIS 3.0. Is it really relevant and/or useful to do non-antialiased rendering circa 2017?

I understand that some people use it to export maps with a limited color palette, so i think the option should remain.
