Description

## Description of bug / unexpected behavior
With the following code:

```py
class ImplicitFunctionDemo(Scene):
def construct(self):
plane = NumberPlane()
curve = ImplicitFunction(
lambda x, y: (x**2 + y**2)**2 - 42*(x**2 - y**2),
color=YELLOW,
max_quads=5000,
)
self.add(plane)
self.add(curve)
```

The following is rendered on my PC:

As you can see there are many artifacts around the plotted curve.

Research direction

Reproduce the provided ImplicitFunction scene with the OpenGL renderer and start by tracing the ImplicitFunction rendering path. Compare the rendered curve with the expected plot and identify the rendering behavior that produces the artifacts; done means the supplied example renders without the visible artifacts.
