[comp.graphics] Color Dithering

turner@unc.cs.unc.edu (Douglass Turner) (08/17/87)

Hi, anybody know of any references discussing color dithering?
Also, since it will introduce visual artifacts what is its interaction
with anti-aliasing attempts for an image?


Thanks.

The only color dithering that I've done is to dither from however many
color down to 8.  This is achieved by dither each color plane separtely
and thus you get 3-bit value per pixel at the end.

I did this on IBM EGA display, the result is acceptable.  But what I
really want is a generic algorithm that can dither N-color image to
M color.

	I am looking for a color dithering algorithm for 24 bit color.  I 
need this for a program that prints a 512X512 24 bit color picture on
an color okidata printer.  If anyone has a working algorithm that I could
use, please mail it to me....  Thanks....
