The diagonal line is an artifact of GraphX using a row-major ordering of pixels in the VRAM instead of column-major ordering. The screen is actually a portrait display, requiring the hardware to flip the screen over the diagonal line, causing minor screen tearing. The only way to fix this is to rewrite GraphX to use the column-major ordering that is native to the display. You can view the same effect using Ndless programs on the TI-Nspire CX II (CAS) because that calculator uses the same display.
