How it works

Each pixel is compared with a threshold matrix tiled across the image. Fast, parallel and deliberately textured.

  • A 8×8 matrix of 64 ranks is tiled across the image; a pixel turns white when its brightness exceeds the threshold at its position.
  • That gives 65 distinct gray levels, each reproduced by a fixed dot pattern.
